My windows take forever to go up and the driver side window even has some scratches on it. Also the doors rattle a bit. What all would I need to replace in order to get the doors to operate properly?

I've found guide plates and window motors on 5.0 resto but I think I also need new window felt which I can't seem to find.... those should take care of the window issues right?

For the door I already bought new hinge pins but I noticed the driver's side has no bushing around the striker where can I track one of those down?

The striker for the door latch is in the Help! section of most auto parts stores.

For your other parts needs, see Texas Mustang Parts   //   Waco, Texas, mustang-unl.com or CJ Pony Parts - Ford Mustang Parts

Ok i'm bringing my thread back because I'm finally getting around to buying all the parts I need.... school and work keep me too busy. Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that I definitely need guide plates, but I'm not sure what else I need. The windows don't go up and down smoothly, and I found out the squealing I hear isn't from the glass it's coming from the track itself. I figured I'd get new gears for inside the motors anyway... but is that worth it? I don't want to spend 140.00 from Late Model Resto for new motors and guide plates if the guide plates and new gears would fix it....
