I need to remove windows from doors so can paint & replace weather stripping along top of door. Have service manual and it states remove a pin and drill out rivets holding window. I understand the rivet part, but does anyone know what the manual is talking about when they reference a "pin"? I can't see anything (interior panel is off) that looks like a pin. If you've got any tips on getting these windows out I'd appreciate them.

 

There's really no reason to take the windows out of the doors to do what you need to do.

 

yea, you really do not need to remove the windows for that, it is not worth it

but if you want, you can unhook it from the window regulator (slide it off the rails) and then you should be able to slide the window and track at the bottom out of the top at the side.

Good deal - didn't really want to take them out anyway. If I can replace the weatherseal along top of door without window coming out I will! Thanks

 

I've taken the windows out of the doors before its easy should I make sort of guide for the rest of us so it makes it easier? I could it only takes like maybe 30 minutes. Any takers?

 

If you do I'm sure I'd be able to make use of it when I start my restoration project next year.

 

Okay no prob. but uh where should I post it? On the FAQ board or this board?

 

I'd say post it in the faq section and put a link to the post in this thread.

 

Yes, post. My weatherstripping has gotten so dry rotted it has left deep scratches in my glass so i'll need to replace both the glass and weather stripping at the same time.

 

Okay I will get up early tomorrow or today lol and get to it. Now to remember how to post pics... lol learn on the fly.

 

was this how to ever posted? i so where is it? i would like to know how to do this

thanks

 

I apologize for not posting the how to. Not to worry though it will be up by tomorrow Tuesday the lastest. I have to get back into my door to start the long process of refurbing the lock actuators as well as seat belts. I will be posting how tos on those as well. Please be patient I'm very sorry for not posting it sooner even though I said I would again I'm sorry. If there is something else that anyone would like to see let me know i might be able to help.

 

I just finished taking the window out and taking all the pictures for the FAQ post it will be up tonight along with how to take out the window felts from both sides. Again I apologize for taking so long but it will be up tonight.

 

Post is up in the FAQ board
