Porsche 914 How to Restore 73-76 Doors, Glass, Handles, Fuzzies and Seals [Bumblebee Build Ep 20] 

Ian- You're a hero to the 914 community.

GREAT VIDEO!!! I'm replacing a broken regulator and this video helps me out immensely.

Thanks for Posting Ian! Great reference.

This video would have been super helpful 35 years ago when I was a teenager and couldn’t get my drivers side window to work properly. I had no idea there were adjustments to the window but then again I was a dingus teenager. Thanks for the video!

Thanks again Ian. Really helpful video. I need to call914 Rubber for some new fuzzies, that one at the bottom in particular!

Ian thank you so much, I’ve basically been following every one of your videos and restoring my own car alongside you, although mine isn’t painted yet

Thanks SO much! One could say your saving lives!!!

Thanks so much for the videos Ian! I am currently restoring a 1973 914 that my dad and I did a V8 swap in when I was in high school. We both kind of gave up on the project and it has sat in storage for close to 11 years. Now that I’m married with 2 kids, I’ve decided that now is the time to embark on a full restore, haha! I really appreciate all the content you’ve shared, I have honestly learned a lot. I just wanted to let you know that your videos have inspired me to carry on with what my dad and I started over a decade ago. Thanks!

This will help my 914 build!

Thanks Ian, your videos are the best.

Nice Detailed video Ian! I didn’t know about the tilt adjustment for the triangle window frame! Thank you!

Great Job!, My 914 will soon be done, too.

Thanks, Ian! Another great video. I just ordered the full gasket set (late model) from 914 Rubber so I really appreciate these videos to help guide me as I begin replacing every bit of rubber.

Super Video. Dankeschön.

A couple of thoughts that come to mind:

Okay totally on my to do list

Great to see the 914 windows come up brilliantly, your right to leave all the fine tuning of the gaps till 'everything' is fitted. I've not been happy with how windows sit on the one on my channel, luckily it's spent winter covered up 😉

Great video...thanks Ian.

Thanks for another great video, Ian. I used it almost to a T for restoring the doors on my '73 2.0 Ravenna Green 914 (build date of 12/72). The main difference for me on my '73 vs. your '74 was the triangle windows. The 914 Rubber triangle window seals I bought would not work on my door components because the metal triangle window support brace has a fin on it that goes up through the seal and there's another support fin that goes up through the other end of that seal as well (my understanding is that this setup was used '70 - '73. I even tried cut slots in the 914 Rubber triangle window seals to get them to work, but the fit was so bad - it had gaps that would have allowed water to penetrate. This was very disappointing because the 914 Rubber site says their seal will work on any year 914. Complete BS (unless you make significant modifications to the rubber or metal door parts). The only solution for me was to buy Genuine Porsche triangle window seals (from Automobile Atlanta but available elsewhere, too). Thus, I recommend to anybody with a '73 or earlier to buy Genuine Porsche triangle window seals right out of the gate so you don't end up like me having to learn an unnecessarily expensive lesson. Otherwise, thanks to your video, Ian, the doors were not terribly difficult to restore. It's so nice having working roll up windows again (and super clear thanks to buffing with clay) and seals on my doors and windows that are water tight.

COOL!
