79' door reassembly ?
I have all the window/lock parts removed from one door to clean and lube. What's the easiest way to reassemble it? Glass and tracks first or latch parts first. It has power window and locks.
Thanks

I'd definitely install and hook up the outside release handle, the key cylinder (with alarm components if you're keeping them) and the main latch before the glass and tracks. This things are all or in part on the "other side" of the glass and don't interfere in the least with the installation of the tracks and glass.

I completely disassembled, cleaned, replaced, lubricated, etc. everything inside the doors of my '79 (power windows and locks) and the glass/tracks were the first parts out and last parts back in. I never completely removed the latch/lock mechanisms to instead remove, clean, lubricate and reinstall one main part at a time.
