I have to take out the RF door glass in both doors I have to swap mine to the
new one.
Any one done this, I never have on these cars. {off floor in 96 when they were
new.}
The manual is confusing on how to do it.

Clare,
I haven't done one of these in a while, but if I remember correctly, these are
riveted in with 1/4" rivets. If not 10mm nuts. You will need to drill the rivets
out. I think there is a channel that runs vertically in the front or back or
both. You will need to pull the bolts out and move the channel. You shouldn't
have to take the channel all the way out. Once the glass is loose from the
regulator, you should be able to tilt the front of the glass down and lift up on
the back of the glass.
When you install the new one, if these are in fact riveted, you will need two
large 1/4" rivets. If you can't find them at the hardware store, any auto glass
replacement facility will have them. The only tough part would be to get your
hands on a "Big Daddy" rivet gun. I don't know if you know any body that works
at a glass shop, but I have never seen them anywhere else. Maybe you could put
the glass in and have them rivet them. Of course if these are bolted, you've got
made.
I hope this helps, like I said, it's been a while since I have done one of
these, but they are pretty straight forward.
