removing door panels, so they might go back on Options

[Flat VW]

Hello Everyone, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)

I have two doors (914 coupe, not the sedan (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ) that now, each have unusable windows along with a passenger's outside door handle that is so tight it's gonna bust if I do not attend to it.

I have read, and will use as a guideline the "classic" McMark thread titled "how to rebuild your doors". (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)


My first question is how to remove the door panels so they can be replaced without damage? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)


Also I "assume" (you all know what that means) that perhaps I will need to replace both window regulators. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)


I have read here that, perhaps, the "later model" window regulators are more robust. Will they "bolt-up" in my 72' car?


In used parts what year, (or years) are recommended?


In "new parts" whom would one recommend as a vendor?


PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME IN RESPONDING AS IT IS TOO FINE A DAY HERE TO WASTE TAKING APART DOORS WHEN I COULD BE OUT "BACK-ROADING" INSTEAD OF HAVING THE CAR DIS-ASSEMBLED IN THE DRIVEWAY!
