Window glass pops out of track

[SilverShadow]

The hardest part was setting the glass in the seal, and then bolting the easily accessible rear bolt. While doing that, the glass kept falling down at the front of the door. After lots of swear words and my ratchet thrown across the garage several times, I finally was able to make it all come together.

Freaky how even miles apart and I could have posted the same thing! Yet after my attempt I gave up after that front falling so many times, I visualized thousands of square pieces of window glass on ground as I lost hold.

The best part about doing that job, is my roommate was there with me the whole time, in the garage, replacing the door handle on his dad's truck and wouldn't even stop for 2 seconds and hold the window for me.

Best part?
Forgot....Since the regulator motor gets in the way of front sash bolt access, do you attach the two sash bolts first and then position the widow and then add the gold bolts to fasten regulator to fame? I think that is right.

With your door panel off and the regulator already bolted in place, you will need to set the regulator so that you can access the rear bolt first, usually lower than door handle height.

To access the front bolt, there is a small hole in the door panel, about mid way up, right near where the window motor is. You need a 10mm socket and an extension to get through there. It's very fiddly, and I dropped the bolt several times in the process, but once you've got it in, you should be all done.

Got it done thank you for the steps...even the dropping of the bolts a few time. But we need to go back on a cooler day (over 100 today) to get the window right. It still misses being perfectly aligned. I may do it tomorrow without anyone since the regulator is now fasten down. I think all I will need to do, correct me if I'm wrong, is slightly loosen the two sash bolts- have the window up all the way and where it is supposed to be and then tighten the sash bolts. Then run it up and down. I'm sure the regulator once in is set, just the top sash is the fix. Wish me luck and a bottle of Windex.
