One mod I suggest is NOT using the stock screw(s) in the middle of the 
door-top, buried in the fuzzies. Being only little sheet metal screws, they 
typically back out slightly and touch the glass while it's going up and down and 
road vibration is shaking things slightly. So you get a scratch or a series 
of etched dots in the glass that cannot be removed. Because there's always 
a driver when the car is moving, in the U.S anyway the affected glass will 
usually be the left side. A new door glass is the only cure once this 
happens. Nothing bad happens if you leave them out: a missing screw or two will not 
destroy your window(s). FWIW- J DeRyke
