I've just acquired a puma rear door to change my very tired safari door on my 90.
I've done lots of search and I'm unsure which bits will fit off my old door. Obviously I'm aware the glass and door card is different.
But what about the wiper motor and all the locking mechanism?

If anyone has done this swap can throw some light at it... would be much appreciated. Cheers
 
All the same I did mine but bought the door complete and had to adapt high vis break light but is easy fix don’t panic u can’t harm anything sometimes u might have to adjust your striking plate I found it best by slightly tight bolts then when it strikes cleanly if the door needs pulling closer use ur hand push it closed the distance u have to push it back is probably the best position ur striker needs moving back hope this helps

Thanks gren.. thats great. Did you find the old latch/lock also worked? Have you fitted a puma rear door then?
 
Think the puma /td5 doors same early td5 had no high vis break light later ones have that’s it I bought door then glass and high vis light off eBay built it up It’s the seal on window can be pricey I think I paid around £20 ? I’ll dig receipt out

the lock /handle will only fit off the td5 model as the barrel is longer I sauced a new one off eBay. purchased a three door lock set from local main dealer with new ignition barrel at around £85 so one key fits all

But there’s nothing stopping you using your old lock and handle sorry was thinking of the newer door locks on 300 and earlier have shorter key barrels hope this helps
