Guest Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 I did not remove the glass I believe it was a Phillips screwdriver and a little pushing on the window, for one of the screws while the windows were down of course. ------------------ LLOYD@firstgenmc.com http://home.attbi.com/~adgtrunklid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjs-13 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 A hammer works best. Break glass with hammer. This simplifies access and allows easy removal of the phillips screws. Remove screws and trim. Install new trim. Buy new side glass and install. You can also remove the window if you choose not to break it. Actually pretty easy. Remove the door panel, slightly lower the window and you will find 7/16 or 1/2 inch nuts that are on studs through the bottom of the window where they attach to the window regulator. Remove these nuts, 3 I think and wiggle/lift the glass out. As stated earlier by AGTTRUNKLID, should be able to get to the screws by lowering the window as far as it will go. If not low enough, remove the door panel and you can adjust the stops to lower the window even more for access. Return the stops to the proper height when done. ------------------ Mike Strinich Nashville, Tennessee 72 Monte Carlo Convertible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 No window breakage necessary, also you don't have to remove them. LOL! The glass has bottom stops. Roll your glass down and find the location of the bottom stops, (2 each side) loosen and lower them, then you can get to the plilips screws that hold the strips on. ------------------ George Lines [This message has been edited by George Lines (edited 08-28-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is EXACTLY the procedure I used to change the window fuzzies. Tough part is finding an alternative to the staples holding one fuzzie to the doorpanel. I simply used weatherstrip adhisve and let it dry overnight before re-install. Works well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Window fuzzies? I guess that's the soft stuff pushing against the glass. Can you get that stuff new? And if so, where? I recently discovered that mine was painted over so now it's kinda hard. Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Don't fee bad, I can't even get a front out without breaking it. I wish I would have know about lowering the controls for the windows before I took mine out. I guess it was for the best because I decide to paint inside the doors while I had them out. I still have not put them back in yet, it looks like it's going to be some serious work. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
