Default Door window resto?

Anyone got a guide on this? I'm redoing the door window weather stripping and power window harness and want to do it right.
Is there supposed to be much play in the remote lock *****? Mine are pretty wobbly.

Is it wobbly where the **** hits the splined shaft because the splines are worn (could be either the **** or the door lock mechanism) or is the shaft loose in the mechanism attached to the door inner panel? Those repro mechanisms go for a bit more than $30.

The shaft is loose within the base. I should probably just pick up new ones.

Looks like I'm not the only one up early on a Sunday morning on the West Coast.
The drivers side lock mechanism do seem to get sloppy after a while.

This is all you need to know about how to disassemble and reassemble the doors. I assume you are working on a 63-67
