    Swapping door bits

    Happy Friday everyone, hope you are all well! Question for the masses: I am replacing nearly everything on my driver's door, I bought another complete unit. Is there anything I should be aware of when I plug everything in from the donor door when installed on my door? I am going to attempt to swap lock cylinders and will do the door handle strengthening mod also. Any sensors etc. Car specific that may cause problems? Thanks!!

    You are using a donor door with everything already present? If so, sounds like the handle is the only thing for pre-96 cars.

    If it is bare then you have door brakes, window guides, motor, glass, door latch, wiring etc.
