I had to remove the upper and lower panels on my driver's side door to fix a stuck door. This was my first time removing both of these panels in my 5 years of ownership. First, the amount of foam caulk around the door vent was surprising. Is this a normal repair to seal this vent? Is there a different/better way?

Unfortunately, while taking the door apart, my working mirror switch came apart and the ball bearings and springs inside proceeded to fall out. After trying over an hour to get everything together without success, I gave up. I would get everything put into place, using a little grease to keep the bearings in place, but not matter what I tried, the bearings would get pushed out of place when trying to put the two halves together. Anyone have any tips on getting this put back together? This is what it looked like when I realized it had started to come apart, and the damage had been done at this point.
