This thread will show some of the common repairs and improvements that our "Round Body " Travelalls, Travelettes, and Trucks could benefit from.
All photos and information is specifically based on a 1967 Travelall , However most if not all 61-68 round bodies have the same doors .
At this point in time I have the four side doors completely apart
It's going to take some time to document and photograph the reassembly ,I will add to and update thread as time allows
Let's start with taking one apart ( rear side door)
Crank window down
Pry the rubber escutcheon down that resides behind the window and door handles
This will allow you to see a hole where a small plain pin lives , Simply push or lightly tap out
the pin, and handles pull off.
remove inner panel and inner window frame , Note that the frame has the inner window
wiper stapled to it , The chrome trim has the outer wiper stapled to it
Remove the section of flexible window channel at the top of the window,
It is held in with toothed spring clips , If you squeeze the channel next to the clips
with pliers they loosen their grip and pop out fairly easy with a small screwdriver
Remove clip from window regulator arm , here is what it looks like .
You won't be able to see it ,Hence the picture of it out in the open .
The window can be slid up and down as needed .
Remove the two screws that hold the window tracks (one per track) they are
located at the bottom of the track, Picture shows a phillips screwdriver poised to remove
the screw
The track will now be able to slide down enough to release the clip that holds it in the
window frame , Some of them are kind of tight and will need a tap with a block of wood
and small hammer .
Now the tracks can be removed from the door
Tip-Removing the hinge side track first seems to work better
After the tracks are out , window can be removed , The regulator just unscrews .
The inner door handle/door latch both unscrew ,
The outer door handle has one screw ( hiding on edge of door ) and a 3/8 nut
that can be accessed from door cavity ,
The thin chrome strip Is really a bugger to remove , There is small amounts of rock hard adhesive that does
not help matters , I removed them so the new window wipers can be attached securely , work on it from the
backside of door ( less chance of scratching it , There is ten little bumps that it clips over , Start right next to the little
piece of cover trim , The bumps start very close to them ,The cover trim simply slides one way or other .
