I have a door with cancer that i cant save. I have a donor door shell to takes its place.

My question is what the best way, and in what order; to disassemble the door.
If there is a certain order in which i can take it apart with ease and reassemble with the same ease that would be great and i welcome any and all tips.

Door is removed from the car at the moment.

Thanks

Lock knob
Top sill
Inside handles and arm rests
Door panel
Glass
Mirror
Regulator assy and rails
Hinges, latch and outer handle

If your door has a wing window it can come out the same time as the window and regulator assy.
 
You didn't state what car. There was a link posted in recent thread where they detailed glass install and alignment process for hardtop.
A tip that may not apply, there are glass travel stops somewhere, limit how far up/down the glass will go. Some are mounted to the door with bolts. In many cases a eccentric stop in the regulator limits downward travel. Hex nut with flat screwdriver slot in its center. Adjust it to lower glass further into door, fuzzies will R&R much easier.

Download a shop manual, has all the info step by step. Am using it now on my 73 Sport, cleaning and renewing all the innards of the window and lock mechanisms.
