I attempted alans method first. But I ended up just laying one edge of the bevel in the channel, then using my favorite busted tip Kline screwdriver worked the other end in the channel.
I took a
wire tooth brush and cleaned the channel
Opened up the channel with that old broken tip
screw driver .
Then started working it around the channel.
This was the most frustrating project I did on the truck. Cursing included
It took me about an hour to do each door working alone.
I did have to trim the windlass where it comes up against the dash.
completed pic With some help the slide method may be eaiser. Im just glad it done!
Good Luck
