Fitted one of the two replacement rear manual window no-flare doors to my 80 yesterday and as I'm replacing the old factory trims with nice aluminium checkerplate ones I started wondering about whether there's any need to have a moisture barrier layer behind the new trim panels. Is the plastic only there to stop the factory trims getting wet?
I also got thinking about how to mount them so they're removable if needed using rivnuts and some sort of bolt setup. I don't have a rivnut setting gun or any rivnuts yet. I'm thinking stainless m5 or m6 thread rivnuts and some sort of flat (pan head) stainless bolts instead of plastic clips using the same holes on the door metal that the clips would otherwise fit into.
