    Here's my stupid question of the day: what is the easy way to pull the door glass out? I've looked the situation over and it looks like the entire frame may have to come out. I dont realy want to tear it down that far, but if I've got to, I've got to. I've got plenty of rust to replace before I get to the doors anyway.

    thanks for any advice.

    Once the door panel is off, roll the window down untill you see a round plastic retainer along the bottom of the glass and rail. The center of the retainer is a pin. Take a small phillips and hammer and drive the pin through the retainer. Then reach around the back side of it and pop it out of the glass & rail. There are two retainers per glass.

    hi,
    not a prob.
    the glass is held in by (2) plastic pins. they are at the bottom of the glass. remove the door panal and roll the glass about half way up and you will see the pins. they are in plastic inserts. just push them on through the insert. i have taken a quarter and put it to the back side and snapped them out.

    Thanks for the info guys, I've found the plastic "rivits" I guess the glass will tilt and slide out after its loose?
