Wing window install help

[1st Gen]

Some wormbait broke into my car a couple of days ago and broke two of my windows. The front passenger, and the rear wing window. The front one won’t be a problem I don’t think, but the wing window is turning out to be a headache. I’m taking a break from it right now before I break the thing. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Who ever it was didn’t even get my stereo. They just busted up my console and stole my face plate. (first)

A link would be fine.

Ha ha!

Take off the door panel, use some soapy water as lube, and being careful to never touch or pry against the window itself, us a screwdriver to finesse the weather stripping into place alternating pressure between pushing on the window and working in the stripping.

Now for the other window.

Update, use a plastic tool for the pushing on the weather stripping. The metal one I use caused some chipping in the paint where ever I was pushing on it. It was almost a slam dunk.

I wish I would have done it that way instead of using my forehead. Ouch!

The other window went like clockwork. I took the opportunity to grease the window tracks and the door locks so they work better. It's like a brand new car!

You should put some grease on the bolt in the door and then wipe off the excess . it will make it easier to remove later
