Glass + Door Mech Install


This was a pretty quick job apart from integrating the starlet door lock to the mini door mech. All glass and chrome is reused from the previous mini so its not in the best condition but I cleaned and buffed as best as i could.

I started with the driver side door and did make a few scratches in the paint. Hopefully they wont be as noticeable once everything is on. I think i may of used the wrong chrome strip along the door window but i might stick with it anyway.




The rear side windows were easy enough to install but i made a small modification to the latch. I was shown this little trick from another mini enthusiast when i was purchasing some parts from him. It involves drilling out one of the pins and installing a lock pin in place. This allow for the rear windows to be opened completely, which may not seem very important but is quite convenient with easy access to the back seats.
