    Any hints and tips? Going to be replacing an entire door. The old door is pretty bad. The vent weatherstrip I want to replace and redo the whole vent assembly. The window regulator is pretty worn and the latches are pretty stiff and hard to work. Thinking about just going with brand new latches and regulator, or are the rebuild/repair kits worth it? The new door doesn't have anything, just the shell. Especially looking for tips on rebuilding the vent assembly. Right now in the process of getting stuff together. I already have the door checks, door relay and the door hinge repair kits.

    I wouldn't reccomend using a rebuild kit on the door latch. From my experiance it will fall apart at the most unconveniant time. Then the door goes flying open.
