    Just curious to see if anyone has a picture tutorial or a video link for the glass install on the doors. I've never done door glass. I see where the little bushings are that hold the glass on.
    Are those just popped out and how?

    Sorry for all the dumb questions.

    Thanks guys,

    Josh

    Roll the window down about 3/4 of the way to get at the retainers. There are 2 retainers and they have a center pin that pops out. Once the pin is out the retainer / bushing can be removed which frees the glass. Just tip the glass at an angel and it lifts right out.

    This is what I use to remove the retainers. Just cheap clamps with tube and a bolt welded on.

    Thanks. It works like a charm. I've broken several with a screwdriver, that's why I came up with this, no more snapped tabs.(y)
