 Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2008 7:23 am Post subject: When to install door windows |
 |
|
Some time today, I should finish the second door installation. That is on the hinges and trimmed to fit. Van's plans say to next install the windows. I would like to hold off and complete the locking hardware before I install the windows.
I would like to hold off for several reasons, one being weight as the door will be on and off many more times and also to minimize the possibility of scratching them.
My question is, is there any valid reason against moving the installation of the windows to after the door lock hardware is installed?

Gary,
I don't see any reason you couldn't hold off until after the mechanisms are
installed. It shouldn't make any difference.

I held off on my windows until the lock hardware and door gas strut mounts were installed without any problems.
One thing I wish I had done early on was install the door seals. This would have saved a lot of fiberglass refinishing. These were installed before doing the windows but after getting a great fit on the doors. However C when the stock door seals were added the door stood proud of the cabin top by 1/16" to 3/16". And now that my windows are installed I'm going back and refinishing the doors to fit the cabin top.

I endorse Dave Saylor's comment. Hold off till the locks are in. Also, if possible keep the doors open after they are finished and with the gas strut installed. I was told that (when compressed)the gas can leak out leaving you to pay for the very expensive seal gas strut replacements.

huh? Think about what you just said... It implies that the doors should never be left closed even after the build has been completed.
