Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Philip. Hi Philip, you can always email me no problem. There is a bit of movement to be expected, but not too much. If something was lose or come undone is would have thought that the rocking would be all the way down.
Rear seats out, handles of and the side panels unscrew. Depending on if somebody has been there or not previously, there should be a damp membrane in place as well. I am presently re-assembling my 66 coupe after an 8 year restoration. Your site and info has been very helpful. I truly appreciate your effort of documenting your build as it is helping me put my car back together. Many thanks, Brian.

Watch them knuckles and enjoy it all. I miss doing mine up now. They are not the easiest of things to get right I must admit. Try giving them an email if you want, their details are on the website or their blog. Process: Removal Right Rear Ok, this was done without the manuals and still seamed to work fine. Left side bottom uncleaned. Outsides cleaned. A door hinge wrench is also a welcome addition. Install the door hinges on the door and make sure that the lower hinge is in the closed position; this will give you a straight shot at it on installation.
Before I mount the door to the Mustang I prep the rear door jambs and rocker panel with my panel gap gauge made out of pop-sickle sticks you can use paint sticks , this will set the initial gap as well as help protect the jambs and rocker from an impact with the door edges.
Once the door is mounted and the striker plate is adjusted so the rear of the door is aligned pretty well I move to fine tuning the door alignment. P: The gap between the top rear of the door and the quarter panel is to close, you need to widen the gap.
S: Make the adjustment at the top body side hinge, nudge it forward until you achieve the appropriate gap. S: Make the adjustment at the top door side hinge, pull the top front of the door outward and you will see the lower rear of the door drift inward. I hope this article has taken some of the mystery out of installing and aligning the door on your Mustang; if you have questions or some tips or experience you would like to share please leave your comments.
Good simple clear instructions. Thanks for the info. Do you have a trick to keeping the backing plate piece of steel with threaded holes the hinges mount to inside the kick panel lined up and against the body? I was thinking maybe a magnet? Without having someone holding them inside it would seem they will just fall away when the first bolt is attempted to be placed. Eric, You should consider purchasing new door latches for your Mustang. Check AAPD. JoeResto — January 11, AM.
This is an excellent site, very informative. I have a question. Your 65 Mustang has a scissor assemble attached to the window regulator, its held on there with a clip; detach the two to make remove of the two assemblies easier. Most likley you need to replace the window regulators and the window rollers.

Your window regulator for the Mustang has clip on rollers that are really easy to replace; I would check there first. JoeResto — March 24, PM. I recently acquired a Mustang Coupe which ,fot the most part, is in very good shape. Two problems I need advice on: 1 the drivers door sags; do I need a new hinge or is there some way to fix it?
For your latch; you will need to most likely remove it from the door to get a good look at the problem. Pull the door panel, then reach in an disconnect the latch rods coming from the lock and the inside door handle disconnect them at the latch.
Then remove the three screws on the door where the latch is and it should pop out. The door latch is also available new if you need a new one. JoeResto — April 12, PM.

Chris Kennelley — June 4, PM. My left side door glass channel has rusted and flared out, making the window stop short of fully up. Do you have any ideas? JoeResto — June 27, PM. Chris, That lower door window stopper is a pain to install; try greasing the bracket that the bumper passes through, that should help. I have a 65 coupe and had started restoration on it. Can it be done without removing the windows? Frame and window are not separated, but rollers are damaged.
Where do I find roller parts for the repair on my 69 Mustang? Catherine, You will need to remove the vent windows from the doors to replace the rubber seals as they need to be disassembled to perform the installation.
JoeResto — July 22, AM. Dan, I am not very familiar with the 69 quarter window but the rollers are most likely attached to the frame, so if they are broken or damaged you will most likely have to replace the quarter window frame.

Does the lower vent weather strip attach to the vent assembly, how? Is it sandwiched between the door and vent. Tim — October 15, PM. If the door window seems to be lined up correctly with the top section of the weatherstripping and with the wing window, that is probably the quarter window that needs to be adjusted. If the door glass looks like it isn't all the way up in the back and hits the quarter window, which appears to be lined up correctly, as if the door window was rotated a little bit in the counter-clockwise direction if you are outside the car facing the door, it could be that one of the rollers needs to be replaced, or, if all three rollers are ok, the door window glass needs to be removed from the track and re-glued in the right position.
It looks like I just needed to adjust the dog ear on the wing window. The passenger door window of my '65 hits my quarter window glass when closing the door. Is there any way to adjust that? That can be adjusted, but, how to do that will depend of which window is the problem. Is this something that the car just started doing, or has it been like that since you've had the car?
I just got the car last Saturday Congratulations on your new car. That shouldn't be a big deal at all. I would start by replacing the three little rollers on the door window regulator. That should help out a whole bunch. If that doesn't correct it entirely, I would adjust the stop on the rear quarter window downward a little bit so that the quarter window doesn't go up quite so far. At the end of its travel, the quarter window is mostly moving forward at the top.
Where can I get those pieces that limit the movement? Lost mine for the passenger door on my 66 Fastback.
