Door dilemma

[NickF]

Hi

Just started to strip doors and noticed a few peculiarities 

1 The rod that actuates the lock button is different pass side is straight and drivers side has a large bend

2 both doors have 2 threaded holes under the door lock but nothing attached 

3 inside bottom of door has a bracket with a clip but nothing attached

Any ideas

They are for the 'male' part of the dovetail guide - the factory called it a 'Down Guide' - which sides into the lower ('Dovetail') part of the catch which is mounted on the door jamb (the bit with the spring-loaded white nylon stopper). They were made from alloy, and tended to break off...

That's the window down stopper. It should have a soft pad mounted on it, and it cushions the window and its mounting at its lowest wind-down point so that it doesn't stop with a bang.

The rod should have a kink to it (and they are RH and LH specific), but that particular curve looks like somebody has either made a makeshift 'repair' or adapted another rod altogether.

A rubber "guide"/stopper is secured to this

Excellent Thanks for the explanation and picture

with the down guide missing is the door catch compromised ?
