You need to remove or at least dislodge the vent window to install the main window.
Remove the inner door trim.
Remove the 3 bolts holding the vent window and single bolt on the mirror stabilizer and tip the vent window as shown in the pic.
With the regulator all the way down, insert the window glass into the door and slide the track onto the window regulator assembly. If your glass doesn't already have the track piece on the bottom install this first. You can allign the glass into the rear track at this time.
Now reintall the vent window making sure the window glass is inserted into the front track.

The way Conanski described it is exactly what I had to do for my truck.That's pretty much the only way you can do it.
