77 Door panel/Door nightmare
Well not really a nightmare but This past weekend I went through my doors to adjust the power windows as they were WAY out of alignment and loose and discovered many missing fuzzies and some mangled pieces that I KNOW need replacement. Does anyone have some pics of what needs to be where? My windows move alot in and out , Also my door panels are crispy. Is there a company out there that can redo them relatively inexpensively or should I just look for a good upholestry shop and see what they can do for me?

I think your door panels are the same as my 76 but I dont have any pics to share with you. I replaced my panels with new along with the power window motors and other hardware that needed to be replaced. Suggest you look in one of the parts books as maybe one of the exploded views will so you where all the parts go.

I have the rebuild procedures on my web page under technical assistance. They are the old technical tips from Zip, before they remodeled their web site and removed them.

Thanks! I am still waiting for my assembly manual to be delivered and my chiltons manual is about worthless for good exploded views.
How many window "anti rattle" bumpers do I need per door? I saw 2 in each door but it looked as if a couple might be missing and one is stripped out so it won't hold. Do I only need 4 total or am I missing parts? Sorry for thew apparent "dumb questions" but without my good reading material I am at a loss and want to get some of these things done before they drive me insane.
:cheers:

Glad to be of help. I wish I had gotten more of them before they took them off line. They had a bunch of them, with all including the parts necessary. I have emailed and called a couple of times wanting to get them put back on line but no one at Zip seems interested in hearing what I have to say.
It's too bad because the loss of information is a loss to the Vette community.
