I looked at this briefly yesterday evening and this morning.

First, the drivers door has a key lock, No idea why, did the previous owner drill this and added the key-lock cylinder, but then realized this is not connectable to the actual door lock mechanics? I looked through the invoices from restoration and can't find a new driver side door, so I assume it is the original door.

Anyway, the window channel has the extension of the window gasket and I have the sad feeling that the guy rebuilding this truck set this into the metal channel with gasket adhesive.

I need to try to pry the gasket out to remove the channel. It looks loose at the top, at the transition from window gasket to the slider channel.

Kevin - I must have lost the skill to ad the pictures properly and need to read up on it, sorry. You edited the last post from me, thanks!
