door windows and cranks

Do I have to cut the doors to take the windows out?

[Laecaon]

No. Though its not super easy.

[ggzilla]

The doors never need to be cut. Just unbolt the window track.

[pondking]

do i slide the window out without the metal bracket attached?

[ggzilla]

The window bracket stays attached. You have to unbolt the regulator and slip it out first. Maybe even unbolt the sliding track at the bottom.

 

[Laecaon]

Undo the clips that attach it the the window regulator. Dont touch the frames like mentioned above. Now you will just have to play with it to get the windows out. Rear windows are harder than the fronts.

 

Why do you need the window out? Are you sure it needs to come out?

 

I can do this without any tools. Clips come off with finger pressure.

i want them painted with quality

i kind of gave up on the 1/4 windows

[Laecaon]

Yea, I dont recommend taking those out. Its a danger to the seals. Just do a really good job at masking.

[pondking]

the thing is i cut the rubber already

so i am guessing i have no choice but to continue

 

but I was able to take apart one of the doors

thanks for the help

(i was scared of continuing taking it apart)

 

 

And another question how do you take the rotten squegies?? (the chrome piece with the rubber)

[pondking]

thanks for the responds

now to tackle the 1/4 windows

[Laecaon]

Once you have the chrome piece off the door, you will see that the rubber is held on by a bunch of staples. Remove the staples and remove the rubber. You new rubber kit should come with clips to hold the rubber to the chrome piece.

 

If you need to figure out how to get the chrome off, it just pulls up, be careful not to bend it, work in sections if you must.

[pondking]

got em off

thanks

 

i actually started with the staples but realized they just snap off

 

just worried about the 1/4 windows

guessing i need to cut a lot of rubber

[ggzilla]

Why cut the rubber? Just work it out. Of course you can buy new rubber from overseas, it's much easier to cut the rubber than work it out.

[Laecaon]

You dont need to cut the 1/4 window rubber...

 

Have you looked at availability/cost of those particular rubber pieces?

[ggzilla]

Yes, they are about $100 and available on eBay. Dunno if the sell the rear quarters.

[Laecaon]

The quarters are what I was specifically talking about. Those are on par with cargo windows on a wagon or the rear windshield on a wagon.
