Did it!

Done did it successfully!...but, man, what a hassle on the door panel install!
Bhat....and the others that posted....thanks a million! Saved me mucho bucks!

FYI- I used a 1"L by 5/16" dia carriage bolt (Lowes), took my Dremel and a cutwheel and shaved the shoulders off the bolt (under the panhead), popped the cap off the sliding jaw, inserted the bolt, put the cap back in place (nice fit!), used the Dremel & cutwheel combo to grind the old bolt off the lifting arm, slipped the jaw in the window groove unit(?) with new grease, attached the jaw to the lifting arm...used blue Locktite & one nut instead of the jam nut theory!

FYI- I used a piece of copper wire to grab the door lock threaded stem!
I worked the door panel from the bottom up...making sure that all the clips were in their proper place before I looped the copper wire down the door lock hole and grabbed the threaded stem...pulling it toward me (up & out the hole) as I snapped the panel in place!

FYI -I used a glue stick (looks like a tube of lipstick!) to attach the plastic moisture barrier to the door frame!


Once again, a sincere thanks to all that posted!

Peace,
Harp
