Vent window replacement?

How hard is it to get the vent window out of my 86? I see the 2 screws in the door channel is that it?
Thanks
Dustin

I thought there should be three screws. Remove the door panel, remove the window by removing window regulator (3 bolts). Lay down some painter tape on the interior and exterior paint, this will help from getting the paint chipped. Remove the window weather strip be very cautious not to chip paint. The vent window should have one bolt, one at the base of the metal channel by the speaker hole. I think it a 7/16 inch head.

The vent window is ready for removal, slide vent window to side and lift the vent window up till the bracket at the base of channel makes contact with the windoe door opening at the door. The Vent window assembly need to be rotated about 90 degrees for the bracket to slide to the crack on the door. It like fitting a sofa or table thru a door opening when removing the vent windows lower bracket. The lower bracket on vent window needs to be rotated to slide thru the opening.

Might need to remove the door speakers when lining up the window regulator.
