The triangle window seal install fought me big time. Been watching Ian Karr's Bumblebee video on door assembly. Later doors gotta be much easier. Mine are now assembled except for the door windows. Figured I'd hold off on the rear channel and plastic cap till I got the windows installed in the front track with the sliders. But there is no room for the teflon slider on the bottom rear of the window. Does that need to be removed to get the window in the door, and then glued back on once the window is in place? I cannot figure how to insert the window with the sliders on into the front track with the teflon slider connected. Here is where I am.

I’ve taken windows out of the doors with all the sliders on the glass so I’m sure it can go the other way. How to get there, I don’t know.

I dont see the rear track installed in the door in which the guide rides. You also need the small cap the goes on top of the rear guide.

I installed mine with the plastic pieces on them.
Put blue tape everywhere... play with angles... Leave all the tracks loose in the door so you have wiggle room. |

The exterior chrome piece which holds the rubber window scraper/seal needs to be removed from the door in order to fit the window back into the door. That chrome piece is held onto the door by 4 or 5 small self tapping Philips head screws.

I have the rear channel/guide and the plastic cap. They will have to be installed after the window. My problem is that with the teflon lower guide attached to the glass...the window won't fit into the door.

Lars, it should fit once you remove the metal trim that holds the window scraper. The Phillips head screws are tiny and strip easily since they are usually corroded in tight but I think that’s your answer

PB Blaster on the screws if neceaasry. Use a "new" screwdriver. Keep it straight & easy on the torque. |
