Can anyone give me a sequence of events and tips on putting the doors back together on the sister's car. Is it Bailey chanel rubber first, door belts then windows back in. I've already got all the door latches in with the handles on the outside but that's about it.
Door Assembly Sequence.

Not sure if correct but I did bailey channel the window and have not yet put the belts in and am hoping I can get them in with the window down, think it would be quite tough getting the window in if the belts are already in.
There are some tutorial videos on Rare spares website

I think it's easier to put the weather strips in after the window, I seem to remember it wasn't to difficult to get them on with the window down. If you put them in first it might be hard to get the window in

I say install all components before the glass. It's not hard to fit the glass with the weather strips in. To help, wipe some silicone spray on the weather strip first to help the glass slide through them. It's only the bottom metal track on the glass that will catch if any. Guided right its no issue.

^^^ Bailey channel, window and window regulator, leave window sitting at bottom of door, install inner & outer belt weatherstrips, engage window with regulator and adjust regulator so window winds up & down correctly.

all I did was drop the window to bottom of door , fitted weather belts ,then moved window glass up thru new weather belts and wedged with cardboard in the closed positon, put winder assembly thru into door ,slid/fitted rollers into place and bolted up.
probably better and worse ways to do it, just a case of what u find easiest

If it's a rear door, door belts go in before glass as the window doesn't go all the way down.
Made that mistake.... Front door belts can go in whenever.

How far down the window Chanel should the Bailey chanel go. All the way or do you trim it off.

All the way down the metal guide and trim at the bottom. More is better than less, a little overhang is ok.

*NOTE, this is a two step(pieces) bailey rubber install, in regards to EACH upright bailey channel rubber
NOT as professional as a single piece.. but easier to feed window into and guarantees window wont fall out!
REASON: i found.. it's hard to feed window into rails with baileys run from full top to bottom from the get go
front and rears, (the reg/winder is moved and bolted in to place later.. AFTER have fed window into bailey channel)
(rear door: install the small 3/4 window with the rubber)
drop window in. sit on floor
do door belts first.
(rear door: feed and bolt in the removable side rail/upright bracket )
with the glass in the door, RESTING on floor.
mark with a texta where reaches height to on each channel.
install bailey channels, from top of door and going down...
only going to an inch HIGHER than texta mark! (cut CLEANLY at this point)
lift glass half way into door, feeding into bailey rubbers,
..and slide reg into door and on to window rail, (with reg/winder set at lowest/open)
THEN set into place and tighten window reg/winder nuts.
then RAISE window to closed position. allow glue to set for an hour.
(if you haven't glued in.. leave overnight to "form" the bailey channel. move on to next door)
next..
run bailey channel from texta point down to the bottom of channel.
lower window, and allow time to form/press into place, (or glue to set.)
done.
------
extra paint coats can make door belts a bitch to fit, grease them first.
and check belts length first, may need to trim ends so as to not scratch paint.
