Amazon: - Changing window guides

Hi all
I'm about to start the job of replacing all the window guides on my 220, I can find good information on how to do the front doors but nothing on the back doors, can anyone give me any tips

Same Process as the front doors just in reverse and the quarter light is a fixed solid glass behind the windows 😎👍

Not quite the same, the long channel that runs vertical close to the hinges, on the rusty one I removed it has a tab riveted on that locates the lower section, the new guides don't have this so how are people fixing the bottom of the trim? Has anyone had a similar issue?

Is it as simple as making a new tab and riveting it on? Don't use alloy rivets.

I drilled out the rivets and re used the tab as it was the only thing not rusted out on the old one, used M3 bolts instead of rivets. Just strange that nothing comes with fitting instructions. Anyhow that's one rear door done just to fit the door card and cap tomorrow and wait for two new metal channels for the front doors hopefully by weekend it will be rattle free, next job is door seals but I might wait for winter on that one

Finished fitting all new guides, had to replace the two front short channels, whilst doors were stripped took the time to de rust and waxoil the door insides, car is transformed to drive, no rattles or noises
