Subject:Wing window removal?
From:craig cowan
Date:Sat, 19 Mar 2011 18:24:09 -0400

I need to replace the passanger side wing window and frame. I have
disassembled the door about as far as I can, and I can't see how to get the
wing window frame out of the door (it appears geometrically impossible) does
anyone have any experience with this?
I have a fresh frame in hand with glass and seal.
So far i've taken the roll down window out, all the seals out, and all the
little clips that hold the chrome trim on. Bently is vague, seems to
indicate that the window must be pulled out down through the hole near the
locks. It just doesnt seem to fit. It all comes down to the tab on the inner
edge (bottom) of the wing window frame. It won't fit through any gap.
Any suggestions?
