Ok,I have never even attempted to replace glass in any vehicle i have ever owned.
so,how do you get the one out of the drivers door?Mine is broke so i need some help here installing some new glass.
Looks like the mechanisms in the door might be bad also.Parts trooper has a good window and guts so i can get what i need,just need some pointers.Need it in before it gets to cold.

Glass removal:

1. Remove door handle, arm rest, window crank, door panel (the door handle has a small metal clip which holds the crank to the shaft. You can buy a cheap tool to remove the clip or you can stick a thin rag down in there and snag it. Be careful removing the clip. It can launch away and disappear)

2. Remove plastic moisture barrier

3. The window regulator attaches to the window via two small clips on the bottom of the window. These are located a couple of inches from the ends going inward (going toward middle bottom of glass.

4. The two clips are attached to the regulator with one screw per clip.

5. Using the access openings in the door, remove the 2 screws. The window should be raised some to accomplish this. Upon screw removal, simply pull the window up and out. You might need to tilt the glass a bit.

6. If you have difficulty getting the bottom of the window, specifically the clips, to clear the weather seals on top of the window opening (where your arm rests if you have your arm resting through the open window), you will need to pop/pry those two items up and off. Might need to do that first before removing glass.

7. Sometimes, the caulk which holds the glass securely to the inside of the clips gets hard and brittle over time. Many times, the glass pulls away from the clips.

8. Before removing clip screws, I would first try to remove the glass and see if it comes out of those two clips. You would then have no need to pry those two weather seals off.

9. Regardless, unless those two clips are very well secured to the glass, you will want to clean the glass area where the clips are. Clean the clips of all the old caulk. Caulk the clips and get them on the glass while the caulk is fresh and wet.

10. My favorite part: "Installation is reverse of removal."

The window crank attaches to the regulator. All one piece, I had to call junkyards for this part when mine took a crap on me. 3 0r 4 bolts around the crank and I believe there is another bolt that acts like an anchor. Not to hard to get out but the access hole is not very forgiving.

oh great,big hands and little spaces.woopie.lol

Yeah, it sucks. I did my driver's side vent window rubber and it was more trouble than it was worth.

ok,i got is all loose but it doesn't want to go past the bar that runs from the bottom of the door between the door glass and 1/4 glass.

The regulator needs to be collapsed to it's smallest size and pulled through the upper forwardmost access hole.

Yep Yep, also make sure the window is out before trying to remove it. Then get a beer.

 

[88BamaTrooper]

window was broke out before i got it.
and i couldn't figure out how it goes out thru the top openings so I loosened the 2 bolts on bottom of the door that holds the center bar on and it allowed the regulator to fall down to the bottom of the door and it came out rather easily.
I bet I don't get it back in as easy. :lol:

 

[shooter]

Glad you got it. Strange. See that semi-triangular plate beneath the upper forward opening? That's the opening the manual shows the assembly being pulled through. Look at the 3rd drawing in the included illustration:

I like the route you chose. I'm either reading the illustration wrong (likely) or the illustration is wrong or perhaps for a rear door. Don't forget to address the window clips or you could have the window sliding around, getting hung up, etc.

 

[88BamaTrooper]

wow,that is strange.
Guess I will know soon if it all goes back in that easy.i will bet ya $1 to a doughnut that it don't :lol:

I was lookigng at my passenger side glass and I don't see how the window slides up and out of its tracks.the sides are inside the door and it doesn't have any slack to come out.

 

[shooter]

I believe the window is tapered. With the window lowered but where you can grasp it, a little twisting and bending toward the interior will get it out. I took mine out and I removed nothing along the window opening.

 

[shooter]

Oops. I removed a rear passenger door window. Looks like the vent window assembly/frame needs to be removed before the glass can be removed.

 

[ericchico]

Hey Shooter while we got you here and on the subject of windows, do you know what the adhesive is that is used to attach the Vent window to the frame channel?

 

[shooter]

No idea. Is it still gooey? If not, you can use the 3m weatherstrip goop from any parts store. They should also have that gooey stuff which stays gooey. That's the stuff found on windshields and has an oily colored (greenish/brownish) sheen to it.
