Ian_Greenlaw Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'm working on the rear door windows and was wondering what is the best procedure to reinstall the glass ?ive read the manual and there are a few differences.if I put the glass with channel in the door first, then the bailey channel. Push the glass up into place and hold while putting in the window winder mechanism, attach this and tighten screws. Does that seem right. I'd really like to get the bailey channel in place first that was I can attach it to the inside of the door.Any suggestions......ideas ?Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbe Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Ian you need to put in glass channel first because you want it to be secure to the sides The window is designed to go in from the inside of the car You turn glass sideways and drop it in turning it to the correct posistion as you go down Slowly turn do not force After the window is in then you can attach to winder mechanism. Also make sure winder mechanism is all the way down when putting glass in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Greenlaw Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hi,I tried that after temporalily putting the channel in (rear doors) but it seems the diagonal width of the glass compared to the actual width is larger preventing me turning it around. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.....I'll have another go later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trini Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hi Ian, does the inside of the door around has pieces of wood attached by screws to nail the upholstery (door panels)?. I so you will have to remove the top one for sure in order to get some space to maneuver the glass.CheersHarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbe Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 If your glass is that tight then you will have to take out one side of channel put window down and insert channel on that side When you get channel in put some weatherstrip at top and tape it tight.Hope this works for you Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Greenlaw Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi Harry and Frank,Harry, mine is completely stripped and now wood....lucky I dont have that problem.Frank, my bailey channel is all one piece / no joins so when I remove one piece the whole thing has to come out. I'll try again and see how it goes. If I could get the glass down further that would probably work but being the back door it hits on the curve of the door that follows the wheel arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trini Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi Ian , the wood I am speaking about is roughly 3/8 inches square and are attached inside the door frame all around with countersink wood screws . those pieces are for nailing the door trim panels with steel nails.
