You flatter me, haha.

I just did it on mine.

The door panel has to come off, of course.

There's a clip that holds the lock in place. I used long needlenose pliers to work that clip out, a flathead screwdriver can be used too, but whatever you use, don't damage the window track.

Lock just tumbles out (get it?)

Slide lock into corresponding new door (driver's to driver's, ect.)

I used a small dead blow hammer and a thick wooden ruler to slide the clip back in place.

I have take the panels of the "new" ones I will probably do that ahead of time before I get ready to replace the actual door.
I may even get the rubber for around the door to minimize the sound when driving...

I do consider all of your help, I just want her to be running, I have a neighbor that enjoys getting people in trouble, he call the cops Once to let them know my inspection was up, luckily I was home and saw him pointing towards my truck hile talking with the cop outside, the cop wrote me a warning, for it. After that I finish my lunch jump on it and take her to the closets lace to have the inspection done, come back and parked it right in front of his door. LOL

Sounds like you have a ***** neighbor like I do. Must be guys with little dicks and can't **** right, so they get a nut off trying to be a power happy little bitch. People who wanted to be something and couldn't. :shitsweak: I would too, I'd park right in front of that mother fuggers house every damn day, and I"d also have to change my exhaust to be real loud and throaty just to vibrate his fuggin windows.

Magnaflow FTW. Everytime I hear a truck with Flowmasters, it sounds like it's underwater.
