window help?

[blackdeth666]

So I got new doors for my 521 that are in way better shape than my existing doors, but the windows and wing window frames are pretty ugly. So I want to switch them out with my old windows. Ive undone all the fasteners but I can't quite figure out how to get the assembly out. Does anyone have any tips for me?

i just recently installed new glass, mine was broken though so i didnt have to remove anything. if it helps at all i had to put the window in from the top rotated 90 degrees clockwise. once it was in the door i rotated back upright and popped the arm assembly into the groove on the window. MAKE SURE you remove the drop stop thing that keeps the window from going down all the way. it sticks out about an inch into the tiny space youre working with. not much but its enough to break the glass if you hit it right. good luck. sorry dont know anything about the vent windows :-/
