Window replacement question

I'm trying to put in a new passenger window. Any suggestions/tips on getting the window, the rubber gasket and the channel/bracket to get along? I'm having a helluva time trying to get the window and gasket into the channel. I feel like I'm going to break the window if I try and force it too hard.

Thanks for any help!

Jim

Remove your door panel. Take the screws out on the topside of the door by the windshield and remove the bolt in the door above the speaker. Now you can take the whole wing window assembly out of the door and easily put your door glass on track. Keep the window down in the door and re insert the wing window. It will go right in without forcing. Bolt everything back up and you are done.

I already removed the door panel and the window channel. I'm trying to fit the new glass with the new channel rubber into the window channel bracket. I can't seem to get it to fit into the bracket.

Once those go together, I figure it should just be a matter of putting the assembly back into the door and connecting it back to the regulator.

Thanks!
