1973 doors

hey everyone,

Does anyone know of any good videos on how to take apart the interior door panel?

Pretty straight forward but this seems to cover it pretty well

Thank you. I have to replace the interior door handles because they are falling out and the locking mechanism on the drivers side. When I close the drivers door, the door will sometimes bounce back out. Would lithium grease take care of that?

The lock mechanism, although complex, is fairly reliable so I'd try a good cleaning and re-grease to get rid of the decades of gunk that's typically in there

Thank you. I will try it out. The door removal does not look very hard so I should be able to handle it.

leave the doors on the car. taking the latch mechanism out requires rotating it around the rear window track. be mindful how it comes out so you can orient it to rotate it back in the opposite way.
