97 F150 3rd Door Window question

I'm replacing the glass in my 3rd door. The only tricky part seems to be the part with the clasp. It looks like there is a special tool required for that part of the assembly. Is there a thin wrench necessary to tighten the bolt once you have the glass in place? And where would I find one of those? (I posted this in "Paint & Body" but nobody was replying)

THANKS!

Are you talking about the actaul locking mechansim for the window or the hinges for the window?? Im thinking you are refering to the hinges and that small bolt head that fastens it all together. This correct?

Thanks for the post code_red! I got it fixed. I had to replace the glass and was having trouble with the opener part of the window. Turns out it just needs a thin, small wrench to be able to tighten the opener assembly to the glass and I found one in my toolbox. The whole job was not very difficult.
