Rear Window solution

I took my car, with its window partially installed, to a glass shop, and the guy there said that all I had to do was pull out the rear side of the rubber window channel, and unscrew the pillar in front of the small triangular window. Then I had to put the glass on the square holder on the regulator, put the glass in the front channel, then reinstall the back part of the rubber window channel, getting it around the window on the rear side.

Which is what I did, and now it's back together. It seemed like the shop had a long backlog of work. In any event, I am most grateful to the glass shop guy.





I knew that there had to be a trick to getting the glass in. My misconception was that all the rubber channel had to be in place before putting the glass in position.


The door trim has plastic hooks on the inside, most of which came unglued when I removed the panel, so I had to reglue these.

It isn't like the 123 body style. The panel is made of sturdier stuff (not cardboard, but some sort of masonite-like molded stuff.

It seems to make a weird noise when the window goes up and down, and lubrication does not seem to make it stop. The noise seems to come from the post in the middle of the door. It is sort of a chattering sound. I assume that it has something to do with my attempts to get the window in the track by unbolting the electric motor. I don't see where it is likely to make anything break. Still, any noise indicated some sort of unneeded friction.
