Installing window runs? Door handles?

[Drebin]

Hi there,

I've got an '88 FJ62....over 340K miles. Runs solid...bits and bops to work on as you know.

The electric windows don't work that well....quite slow going up and down. I've been advised the window runs are quite stiff and need replacement.

I ordered some Used window runs from Cruiserparts.net.

Does anyone have any videos on this site of how to install them?
Is it a pain?
Can I do it myself?(I'm not super handy but willing to try if it's going to save me $$)
Any instructional guides would be great

Whilst I'm at it, Any videos on installing the door handles?

Thanks for your help.

All the window runs and felt are really easy. Take the old ones out and the new ones in. I would imagine you are going to have the same trouble with CruiserParts used runs as they are just as old as yours. There are vendors on MUD to use that will provide MUCH BETTER GUIDANCE AND PRODUCTS. New OEM window felt and runs can be purchased through @beno and @reevesci has the door seals and run strips. Cruiser Outfitters also has a ton of support. I have used all the mentioned vendors (@beno on TOO MANY occasions). Do a search on MUD for bad or misbehaving vendors......Cruiserparts.net shows up a lot. YMMV

Thanks Comet. Very helpful.

I'm a bit new to this...How do I contact @beno and @reevesci?
Is there an email or website or contact number you can share with me?

Thanks in advance, Giri

@beno can be found at Welcome to LCPC
@reevesci can be found at Featured Products

Both guys have recently moved their operations to Colorado I believe so be as patient as you can. Also look at the grey line above and click on Vendors. The Factory Service Manual can also be had here on MUD to outline what steps you need to tackle the runs. Also, the outside door handle has a couple bolts that are revealed when you take the inside door card off. I believe you have to be a contortionist for one of the bolts if memory serves me correctly. Several, myself included, will be really quick to bust your b@ll$ if you don't use the "Search" function too! You have been warned!!!!

June join date to MUD makes you a newbie. The proper salute I can give you is Welcome to the madness!

In addition, support this site by purchasing a Silver or Gold in the Upgrades section.
