windows for a 55

Has anyone had any luck with one piece side windows? I just picked up a 55 with the side windows broken out and I'm trying to figure out how they fit in and if I hav to modify anything

Thanks

I welded it back in.. I don't think I have any close-up pics of that. I used seam sealer after tacking it in..

also there is a small section of the door edge where the vent window frame is that needs cleaned up.. before paint so that the window felt sits right,,
