    How do I install this door glass?

    Hydraulic cylinder gland nut leaking after rebuilding

    Thanks for the reply. Ya I suppose I wont know if its damaged or not until I unscrew the gland a bit. I was very careful to keep everything straight and used plenty of lube to prevent the o rings getting damaged, so hopefully it's ok.

The original is 24v, I do have a 12v single din radio in there already, mounted behind the seat , but it is gone faulty, vibration and dust seems to kill standard car radios pretty quickly, I would prefer one that would fit the original...
