Did you forget to put the handle on before you closed the door?

You haven't affixed your chrome trim around the window aperture.

You've got it..

As I've just discovered you need to fit the chrome trim around the door before you put the glass and rubber seals in. I was in a rush to get the glass in I did not look at my photos when I took it apart.

Part of the chrome there is no problem the bit above the side window but the bit that runs along the small side window is a pain all will have to all come out again.

:blush:

Theres no problem with the rear side window as the chrome trim only fits in the rubber seal, not the metal frame of the car.

At least its going to be another dry weekend for me to play with the car..
