Congrats on getting through it all. It looks great.

Amazingly, it seems the last and simplest step, sealing the door windows has been the most challenging. The thinness of the material in the top of the door led us to reinforce it only to discover the strips of window wipes would not fit the reinforced edges. We looked around and while there are a lot of good solutions out there we just did not have the necessary materials or understanding to implement or copy someone else so we just fabricated our own as best we could. The solution, our solution, involves two pieces of angle iron on each side of the slot, glued into place with the felt strips glued to them in a fashion that supports and guides the window. Simple enough but a bitch to execute. Here are some early stages, gluing the angle iron to the door.
