Reinstalling front quarter glass

Those quarter windows were one of my major headaches reassembling 2511. I feel your pain.

like you, I trimmed a bunch of the gasket that would not be visible and hopefully that made things a little easier  

I taped everything together with duct tape. Gently hit a rubber mallet on a piece of wood that fit snugly into the window channel.

also drilled a hole to allow a Phillips screwdriver to serve as a prybar.

hope these help you out.

Thank you.  I set back out after the game ended and gave it another try.  I trimmed down the gasket a bit further, mostly on the sides this time to allow it to fit deeper into the door.  With a little help from one of my boys I managed to get both holes to match up.  Now I just need to see if the window (once all the guts are reinstalled) rolls up w/o too much resistance.

I always use soap ,( household soap for dishes)  this will helps better than WD 40 , and slide de window horizontal .

Mount  rubber 1/2 thick into the frame , and the glass 1/2 thick into the rubber on the vertical frame rail, and than hammered this directly on the glass forward.

And when the glass is on it's place mount the vertical rail ,  always scary  to get scratches on the door and rail trim.

the trim on the top of the door has a small space to fit the horicontal rail

Use a lot household soap for dish , to soak the rubber more greasier than WD40

Have done several, never a problem .
