July 18, 2020. I finally found time to put the passenger door back together (mostly). Apparently, I should have documented the steps to removing all the components, as it seems like one cannot just put it back together willy nilly. First, I installed the wing window assembly and placed the window glass inside the door. I installed the rear glass channel bar. I loosely installed the door glass channel felt. Then I spent an hour looking for the locking mechanism, window riser components ect. They were in the box marked "door parts" that was sitting on my tailgate. I installed the door lock after a feeble attempt at cleaning off the paint. Then I removed the same parts, since the locking mechanism did not seem to be operating, because I was pulling on it, instead of pushing on it. I reinstalled the door handle mechanism (that I previously replaced the worn mechanism on). I reinstalled the window riser. This was a long hard fought struggle. I ended up removing all the screws for the window riser, then installing the top arm roller first. The lower front roller second and then the lower rear roller went in fairly easily. The window was another struggle. I had to re-remove the vent window mounting screws and the rear glass channel bar. Once everything was loose, the window glass pretty much slipped into place. I adjusted the door glass channel, replace the vent window mounting hardware, window riser screws and the rear channel holder screws.
The window rolls up and down like it was new. The door closes very nicely even though it is not perfectly adjusted.
I also preinstalled the right side mirror mount inside the door. I'll need to hog out the holes in the door a smidgen before I put the mirror on though.
