On the roadster, I was able to get at the rivets by removing just the cap
rail and rolling the window all the way down. I'm not sure if the GT doors
have the same cap at the top of the door's interior.

without removing the window. On my 71 BGT I do not see how this is possible
due to inability to reach the screws (rivets?) holding the seal to the
exterior door panel with the side-window glass in place.

to disassemble the entire door if possible to replace the aforementioned
seals. So as always, any insight is appreciated.
