Front Passenger Window replacement help...

[1996BLKBauer]

So I won't go into what happened, because I am WAY to pissed to talk about it, but I now have to replace my passenger front side window, I have never done one so I want to know any tricks, and how the heck to get the darn thing out. I remember getting out out of a derby car ones, but that took bending of the inner metal, and since this is my nice truck I don't want any bending of any kind happening.

Thanks for the helps guys.

I understand it has only been a few hours, but is it easy or something, or is it one of those, when you see it you will know. I would like to know if I need to raise or lower the window, for when I remove it from the Junkyard.

If you are mechanically inclined it is a "when you see it you will know" situation. I have had to take my windows out a couple of times and it is not that hard.
First. take off the outside rain seal (NOTE: there is a nut on the back side of the door that you need to remove otherwise you will bend the rain seal.)
Second: take off the inner door panel.
Third: Take the bolt out that holds the back window track in place and remove the guide.
Fourth:I like to lower the window some so that I can get to the bolts holding the glass to the track. (Be careful here as it likes to drop and you could lose a finger if you are not careful. )
Fifth: Lower the glass into the door some and rotate it some and it should come right out.

Very good, thanks man, now I know to bring a battery so I can lower the window at the yard. Hopefully all goes well for me. I actually need a window guide for my drivers window, so this is a perfect time to replace the glass on the passenger side, and the window track on the drivers side, I might even replace the drivers window aswell, since I am now going darker on my tint.

I am going to be blunt about this, replacing that windows sucked!!! It is not really hard, it that you cannot see much of anything, so you sort of have to guess on what you are doing, but now after removing 2, and replacing one, I have one left. The worst part was at the yard, trying to remove the rivets with a punch and chisel was not very fun, and I pretty sure I lost some of my hearing aswell, but all is good, and the window that is actually broken has been replaced, next up is the driver side, which has a HUGE scratch in the glass from the previous owner.
