Slowly getting my car ready for paint and I decided to tackle the side windows. I searched for a good tutorial but couldn't really find one so I decided to make one. This way I won't forget the steps when I put them back in...hopefully.
Step one: after removing the door panel, remove the bolt above the window crank.  Step two: remove nut at the bottom of the door  Step three: once the nut is off from step two, use a flat blade screwdriver to unscrew that bolt. First time I've seen a multi use bolt like this before. Step four: pull up on triangle glass and frame and remove. Step five: roll window up until you see the only bolt that can be removed. Once that is out then you can tilt the glass forward and slide it off of the track. The first time it took about 20 minutes to figure it out. Second time took less than ten. Not too hard at all. Hope this helps some people. |
