Need help replaceing a window

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, i wasnt sure where to put it.
Anyway, some punks around my neighborhood broke out my window in my 84 z28, its under a car cover so im not to worried about rain getting in, but i am worried about moisture and such. I have a 92 RS thats being parted out currently that im going to grab a window out of and put in the 84. Question is, how do i go about doing this? Could somebody give me an indeoth guide or explanation on how to replace a window, starting with removeing the door pannel and then going from there to finish. Also how dificult of a job will this turn out to be?
Thanks for the help guys, im trying to get this replaced asap, its been without a window now for about a week.

Re: Need help replaceing a window

The rivets are a PITA. I've swapped windows before, and it's a very straightforward process, but it's time consuming. You have to remove the rivets, carefully remove the window, put the new one in, and attach that. I chose bolts to attach it, however I don't believe that was the best idea, since now it rattles slightly (even after loctite-blue). And yes, I chose loctite-blue because if I used the red stuff, that would defeat the purpose of having something removable like a bolt in there anyway.
