Found a video for 72 Dart door rebuild. Ill assume doing this in reverse would get me to where I need to be.
Remove Glass>>>remove window hardware>>remove lock and handle mechanism....

Getting them out isn't too difficult. I recommend you stuff the bottom of the door with rags or an old towel in case you drop it and it misses the rubber block. You really just have to get out the four screws that hold it to the mechanism, lift it up, then lean it in to finagle the red plastic up stops through the door top. It's easier to take out/replace with the up stops removed, but you don't have to remove them. It'll come out with them in place. You'll have to move it up and down a bit to gain access to all four screws as I've never found a place in the window's travel where all four are accessible. There's one (maybe two) where you never do get a good angle and should have a 90-degree screwdriver (preferably ratcheting) to make your life easier.

Thanks 71charger_fan  I did just what you said except I made sure to have a second set of hands helping me....made things a lot easier. I remember changing out an electric windows on my 73 and that has the spring loaded aid for the motor. That sucker can take a finger off!
