Installing Driver's Window

Post by Firebird »

Hello all,

I picked up a driver's window at an ecology, and I was wondering what the easiest way would be to install it. To take it out, I kinda got p***ed off and bent the track for it on the junk truck, but I'm guessing there's a way to put it in my truck without, you know, destroying the mechanism. Can anyone tell me what the best/ easiest way to put a new window in is? I'll probably be putting it in Monday.

Or, you know, trying to. :D

Yea, unfortunately to remove or install a window, the whole door has to be pretty much disaasembled.
Do yourself a big favor and get a kit that has all the window and door seals. Do it while you have everything out, and then you won't have to go through this again gfor a long time. (Or until you do the other side.)
You have to remove the fuzzies along the top of the window opening to get the window in, and it's impossible to remve those without destroying tehm, so just get new window seals and have done with it. :wink:
