Today I have been fitting new rubbers and scrapers to cab doors. The drivers door is early bay I think. As it has the Crome handles that face forward. The passenger door seems to be late bay. It has a black handle facing back and has a pull up door lock.

I hope this makes sense. When fitting the new rubbers etc the early door has a channel that bolts in and the channel fits into it. The late door doesn't have a place to bolt a channel in.

Going to be honest this makes no sense to me as I write it but hope it does to someone. The metal channel on the early door bolts at the base and come up over the locking mech the thick felt type channel then feeds into that and the window feeds into the felt.

Does the later door have another way or does the window just move up and down the dangling channel. Would photo it but away from van. Cheers
 
Pics might help.

Do you know where the "late" door came from ?
I fitted new doors to my van from Justkampers, the ones without the swage line so not Brazilian. These still had the place for the felt channel, it is held at the top by a spring clip that slots into a hole below the bottom of the window channel in the door. Check to see if the slot is there and also the lower bolt hole. I think you will need to fit something to stop the window sliding backwards when its wound down, although it might just be kept in by the winder mechanism on later doors. Might be worth having a search for pics on the Late Bay site ?
