Thank you for your kind comments. I usually pry off the old lock clips with a pointy tool and discard, then fit up MGB style lock retainers (Moss #402-195). Very easy installation.

Best explanation I have seen. Clips I bought from Moss were identified wrong. Inside and outside were reversed. Removing locks was a challenge and I eventually resorted (with restraint) to a wood block and hammer. I bought the improved retainer kit and they worked well, altough re-installing the locks with original retainers looks like it would have been easy. Thanks for posting this. Photos were great!

I am not aware of an aftermarket suppier of the plastic rain shields. Most upholsterers use thick plastic sheeting glued to the inside surface beneath the door panel with cut-outs for handles and panel retaining clips. This works better than the original rain shields. Cheers, Mark

Helpful article, thanks for posting. Can you tell me where to find the rain shields to fit a 1970 TR6?

If the rubber is OK but merely detached from the glass and channel, you can clean things up and reassemble using 3M Structural Adhesive. Be sure you locate the glass in it’s correct location fore and aft before gluing!!

Nice article I am rebuilding my doors and have one dooe glass that will not stay in the bottom bracket. Is the glass glued in or is it just supposed to fit in the channel tightly. If so I guess I need a new piece of rubber.
