So anyone who has forgotten the sequence to put the cab door window and seals in--- here is it – Well the way I did it after hours of messing. However someone may have a better way. 1) Clean all bits – paint if required, and apply white lithium grease to the window mechanism spring. 2) Put main window in and let it rattle around. 3) Bolt in the window winder mechanism. - important!!!!! 4) Fit aluminium outside trim and integrated seal 5) Fit the inner window seal. 6) Fit the ¼ light front metal surround and screw in at the top. 7) Put in the ¼ upright from below without the seals – using plenty of fairy liquid – you will probably scratch it. – When in, pull it back at an angle so you can get the ¼ light window in. 8) Put the ¼ light window seal in – start at the top so the seal is level with the end of the metal and push it in place all the way round, it goes in quite deep, cut the seal at the end of the metal and then it may be worth pushing the ¼ light upright into position just to check you have cut the correct amount off 9) With plenty of washing up liquid put the ¼ light window in – using a car body plastic filler spatula to ensure the rubber is not snagged. 10) Fit the upright front rubber – you can offer up the ¼ main stay and mark with a pencil the size- 11) When fixing in the ¼ light main stay make sure up push it up nice and tight – I also got a small screwdriver and put it through the lower hole that it bolts to – to give a bit more leverage upwards as your hands will be full of washing up liquid. 12) Bolt the ¼ light main stay in – and screw in the small screw at the top. 13) Fit the ¼ light rear felt – mine was a snug fit – but I applied a bit of contact adhesive to it – don’t let it dry – put the felt seal in the wet glue because if you let it dry it will either snag on the side, or just peel off the contact as you put the felt seal in. 14) Put the 4 no main window felt metal seal clips in – gently tap home. 15) Starting at the ¼ light top – put in the main window felt seal – using a rubber hammer to ensure it’s seated all the way home – ensuring you have a nice tight fit at the rounded corner. – The felt seal may have to be cut down – I have left mine long into the door. 16) Looking at the felt seal – see if there is a constant gap all the way around – if not, get I nice big screwdriver and use it to open the gap. 17) Wind the window up and see if it sits home all the way to the top – if not use the screwdriver again and open the felt seal. 18) Clean off the door – and when you go in and wash your hands they should come up looking good as they will be covered with dry washing up liquid It will take you approx. 3 -1/2 hours on the first window and 2 -1/2 hours on the 2nd window
Thanks for the tips....I was under the impression that for fixed 1/4 lights, the rubbers and glass had to be fitted to the frame and then fitted as a complete unit...I'm not disputing your technique...just wondering whether this is the standard way to fit them?
IMO, again no dispute as you got your door together. Winder mech in before loose window. You can pre-bend the main felt seal around the glass if you remember before you fit the glass. Build up the 1/4light and fit as one - it must me a nightmare trying to build it up in situ!
