AlV 69 Dodge GTS project
Makes you wonder, how did the factory have the assembly line workers efficiently install that rear glass?
You said it...It really does! But then they probably had it down after a few hundred lol
On the second quarter glass we didn't follow the service manual which in my opinion was not very clear on the procedure. We used the service manual as a guideline and then adapted what I learned from removing the first one to modify the procedure for removing the second.
We ended up approaching it this way (need a second pair of hands for this, thanks Jake!)
(With the window aprox mid way up)
1. Removed the spring clips per the service manual.
2. Removed the up stops per the service manual.
(This is where I improvised)
3. Remove the rubber door jam seal.
4. Removed the bolt that holds the front guide top rollers to the frame.
5. Loosened the front and rear guide adjuster retaining nuts
6. Turned the adjusters clockwise to pull in the guides
7. Removed the mounting bolt on the bottom of the front guide.
8. Separate the regulator studs from the rollers freeing the window frame (hold/support the Window).
9. Remove the window /w the frame. (I tipped the back down into the quarter raising the front while working out towards the cabin. (It takes some wiggling.)
10. Unbolt and remove the front and back guides.
11. Unbolt and remove the regulator.
This worked for us but there is probably a better way.
The result was that we were able to remove it in a lot less time.
We weren't able to get to the door glass because there isn't enough space in my garage for me to swing the door enough to get to the fasteners behind the door plugs. *shakes head* I'll try to make room, or roll the car out to the driveway to pull those.
Happily stumbling along :cheers:
Stay tuned...
