side window removel
#16
I was able to hold the top of the glass and use the handle to lower the window, thereby separating the glass from the channel.
Taped the glass up at the top to get it out of the way. I made the mistake of removing the window regulator and was in a world of **** then, as the glass decided to slip off the tape and had the glass, regulator and division bar to deal with. Looks like you cannot get the glass out with the regulator flopping around like that. As well as that, the side channel near the door lock seems to be in the way. I undid the screws and that allowed some more flex in there. Once I put the regulator back in, I slid the glass down behind it. I found that by winding the regulator all the way to the top, it cleared the glass. I raised the division bar up and was able to remove the glass from the bottom, and then the bar can come out from the bottom and thirdly the regulator. Might not be the right way, but I got there. Those videos were a great help. Thanks for making them.
Saved me a bundle. Local guy here was gonna charge me over $800 to supply and fit. I can now get my own made up and fit myself.
Good luck with it
