93' Sport 2 door side vent window replacement

[sdoran2]

The pop out drivers side vent window got smashed, have a replacement one, how do you install it as it has bolts that fasten from the inside. I removed the screws & chrristmas tree fasteners on the inside panel but can't figure out how to take off the drivers seat belt so I can remove the entire drivers side interior panel from the driver door back to the hatch so I can get at those middle window bolts.

Am I doing the correct thing to get this window installed?

Welcome to this forum! Why does the seat belt mechanism get in the way if the window in closer to the front?

I think the seat belt is held in with a large torx bolt. Are you sure it needs to be pulled? Guess I've never looked at it closely.

Those torx bolts are very hard to remove without breaking the sockets.

Really? When I removed mine, they came out fine and went back in fine. No problems. Maybe I was just lucky with mine?

I had to hammer an impact hex socket over them, and use a breaker bar. I cracked the torx end off into the bolt while using an impact wrench, then a breaker bar. Ask Joe Dirt on this forum how many he broke. He goes to the yards a few times a month to remove stuff like this.
