QBefore reinstalling the door panels, we replaced the lazy
window motors with these new replacements from LMR.QTo tighten up the door hinges, we used LMR’s door pin
and bushing kit. First, we used a rotary tool to cut the old
door hinge pins in half and removed them.QThe door hinge pins from LMR are held in place with a
pin, which makes future service much easier.QAfter pressing the new door panels into place, we used fresh hardware from
LMR to properly secure the armrests to the doors.QAnother common issue with Fox Mustang windows:
worn window guide bushings. After detaching the door
window’s weatherstripping, we removed the window
guide rod.QWith the door free of the hinges, we replaced
the roller as well.QIt’s not uncommon for sloppy door hinges to lead to a
damaged door striker, and that’s exactly what happened
here. We replaced both strikers with new parts from LMR.QWe replaced the worn window guide bushings with
new ones to keep the windows rolling up straight.QAfter prying out the old bushings, we tapped the
new bushings into place.QTo keep moisture from damaging the restored door
panels, we installed LMR’s replacement vapor barriers.
They’re much thicker than the originals and are secured
with spray adhesive.QThe door handle trim bezels
were broken, so fresh bezels
from LMR fixed that problem.62 MUSTANGMONTHLY.COM
