Okay, I have the doors, aluminum sills, and the windshield left to put on the car (BT7). Any preferences on order? Does it make any difference if the windshield is before the doors or vice versa? Thanks.

Well Lin, this is just my opinion, but from the cars I have torn apart to parade rest and back I think I would put the windshield in first because then you won't have to be leaning over in-thru and around the doors while trying to install it. But then every car is different and sometimes I just need to be there to see what feels right at the time. I'm not sure which items you mean by 'aluminium sills'. If you just mean the cover plates, I usually do them last. But then hoping that the doors are adjusted correctly and have enough room. Good Luck.
