Swapping doors and retaining EVERYTHING January 03, 2009, 01:14:33 PM How hard is it to swap a set of doors and retain my power locks/windows/keyless? I guess what I'm asking is if I find a set without some features, is there still provisions ( mounts/connectors,ect) to do so? As everyone knows my driver door is shaged up and rust in the passanger. And would it be eaiser to try to pull out the dent and swap the glass out. We ( freinds and my self) kinda broke the passanger window out my last leave doing something stupid, so that is another main reason to swap out in one package. Quote Selected
Swapping doors and retaining EVERYTHING Reply #1 – January 03, 2009, 01:38:57 PM none of it is hard to swap. if you have keyless then i would probably look for a keyless door. you could cut the hole yourself for it in a non keyledd door i guess. if it happens to be a non power window door than you will have to drill out the rivets and c00ch the guts from your old door and drill new holes (if they arent allready there) in the new one. you would have to use bolts or i guess you could get new rivets. finding a geed rust free un damaged door is probably going to be the hardest part. that and they are suprisingly heave so they suck to install alone without a floor jack.

Swapping doors and retaining EVERYTHING Reply #2 – January 03, 2009, 06:23:17 PM Get a Lincoln Mark VII door (which only applies for you 83-86 owners). Then you're guaranteed a hole for the keyless and you can easily switch over the window trim/sideview mirror. Quote Selected
