I see nobody is using the Search button?

The pins go on easy as you please. Use hairspray (old bike shop trick for rubber handlebar grips) so they will setup afterwards. Drill a 1/16" hole at the very end of the plastic tip. This lets the air out and lets the plastic tip slide on no problem. Additionally, use a socket that fits over the plastic but hits on the lower "brim" of the cap. Snap the socket into your screwdriver-style handle.

Sequence:
= Drill pin end
= Find socket, snap it ontp handle, put pin into socket
= Liberally spray hairspray on metal piece and immediately...
= Push pin on with force

Lining up the windows and preventing overheight when rolled up is all about pulling the door panel and having at the adjustment screws and bolts. For example, the (is it?) 12mm at the axis point of the regulator arms. The side of the door features an adjustment for angle. There is a limiting screw at the top of the door. This requires only that the upper door panel piece be removed.

But it's a classic "while you're in there" situation. As long as you pull the panel, you can now remove the crusty grease that is overheating your power window motor or causing difficulty rolling up the window. Now you can get the door reinforcement kit in. Now you can lube the regulator/door tang/inner latch mechanism. Now you can lay a small amount of oil on the door bottom as rust protection and cap that one hole in the front, bottom that causes the wind noise as per Porsche bulletin.

Gawd I could go on and on. I am such a bore!
