I have set up a Patreon as I would like to get a higher speed upload, which means I get post more videos, AND in 1080
Takes me about 2.5 hours to do 15 minutes at the moment.
I will be giving credits to my supports at the end of videos from now on.

Im watching football (soccer) copa america: Argentina/Canada in one TV and your video in my PC triyng to install the glass in my Ninety. Your videos are always helping me! Thanks!
Sir, your videos continue to help us every day! Thank you!
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for this video. Have been looking everywhere on the internet for a tutorial on how to remove the glass and the runners. This video was a breakthru in my quest for information and with your help I managed to remove the glass and runners on my tdci doors. Thank you.
You're welcome Arjen!

You probably dont care at all but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Harrison Westley Instablaster :)
@Aries Skylar i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Aries Skylar it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Yet again another great video. Just replaced the runners today, made it super easy. i had an extra set of hands though....made it really easy.
Great to hear!
Very good methods, and the pump wedge is a great tip.
You can get the glass out a little easier if you remove the screws from the runner bottoms before lowering the glass, and then pull the aft runner forward a little to sit it through the notch in the door frame so that the bottom is inside of the door bottom rather than inline with it. The glass will drop straight out the bottom without forcing or fighting.
I rebuilt my doors with new skins but was able to reuse the old runners. They seem to need replacing now, over a decade later, unless the mechanism has dried up and seized. I found that using some waxoil on the screw holes and ends of the runners preserved them for longer, preventing the inner steel rusting so quickly. The same worked well on my SIII door tops, the runners lasting in mint condition well beyond the five year point at which I sold them. Grease would work well if you don't have waxoil. It saves redoing the job so often.
SIMPLY THE BEST!
Thanks Trevor!
You made that look WAY too easy!!! =)
Thanks!
The pump wedge makes life easy when working on doors -I have put a link to the ones I bought on Amazon - at $33 for 3 they are good value and have all sorts of uses!

Looking at this video, I have a few things in my Amazon cart.... And I now should probably order some door lock cylinders to replace my current ones. The keys are super worn out and the locking mechanisms are not working too well either. I hate to be a part number nazi, but do you happen to have part numbers for the seals and parts you are using? I am going to put together a list of parts and try to make a large order. While I have the doors apart too, I may try to install a Noise Killer sound proofing material. So many things to do.
Where are you AJ?
have the runners and barrels in stock here

Thank you.
And than you for your generous support!

Excellent video, many thanks.
The plastic fillers - as you mentioned they have a specific orientation. the broad side is for the windows runners correct?
If you mean the moulded plastic trims that the window channel sits in, then the broad plastic goes to the front of the door frame (otherwise the window will not sit in properly)
@@BritannicaRestorations so not for the window channel? - looking at mine - i cant see how the channel will fit in the thinner section of the fillers?
Do you have the right channel and the section the right way round?
Send me a pic
@@BritannicaRestorations emailed
you havent got anything on the 2nd row doors?
Hi Mike. I am having trouble getting part numbers for the door runners. Any advise would be appreciated!
look for DA2002
Mike
Thanks Mike, your a champion. How much do you think I will need for the 4 doors?
Good question!
I get 20 x 2M strips at a time
Tell you what I will have a rough measure tomorrow to work it out
BUT I have an idea it is 2 strips for the front (per side)
But the backs are deceiving as you have to take into account the fixed side window
You CANNOT join bits together!
Mike
Thanks mate - much appreciated!
What's "dum dum"?
It's a non setting putty
