Hi,

Left rear passenger window blew to bits, just standing there. (wth?) Got replacement from the bone pile (Pick-n-Pull) but how the heck do you get it inserted back in there? Tried the usual jiggle-wiggle-pull-cuss approach with no results. There must be a sequence of things to do.  ???

This is not a windshield, rear window, or rear fixed window. It's the power door window behind the driver. There is no putty anywhere it, but thanks for chiming in anyway.

 

I did manage to get it installed, but it's not sitting quite right. The trick I found was some stops needed to be loosened and slid out of the way. I wish there were some good instructions somewhere. I just had to try every conceivable thing.

Factory Service Manual probably has them, and how to adjust them.

I don't have one of those. Where do you find one?

There may be some online scans. I've seen them on ebay sometimes. I bought mine from dealers a long time ago.

I have replaced that window several times.  You are going to have to remove the outside bottom window trim.  There is a screw at each end, as I recall.  Removing the white roller guides is also required. The window is held to the sliding mechanism by 2 bolts.  If you have electric windows, you might need to set the window in a particular position that allows some tilting and sliding to work the wheels out through hidden slots in the upper part of the door.  Use lots of lithium grease in the guide rails, wheels and other moving parts, before you reinstall the window.

Scoobie,

Thanks. I did manage to get it put back in, but didn't grease anything. Sounds like a good idea to open it up again and do that. The window isn't setting quite right, so need to tweek it a bit, anyway. I think the glass is sitting up a bit too high and when I close the door, it catches on the upper rubber, but if I kinda push it inward as I shut it, it's fine. Or, I can shut it with the window down a bit and then roll it up afterwards. That kinda wedges it in tight.
