My door glass is separating and needs replacement and I'm having trouble removing the window.Trying not to remove the door panel.So far I removed the garnish molding.I'm trying to get the window to separate from the lower chanell.Any suggestions?Thanks.

You have to remove the door panel, that much I am sure of. I don't recall exactly what you do, but I believe the piece that is pressed on the glass will have to come out with the glass.

 

If you have not already seen it, The 1926-1931 Fisher Body manual is a very useful reference to anyone working on a wooden Fisher body, no matter what year. You can find it here:

1934 and 1935 are also posted. The 1935 book tends to be useless, but does cover door glass. 1935 Buick bodies are more like 1934 models from most other GM divisions, so 1934 is the obvious place to look. Unfortunately the 1934 book didn't cover the door glass, only the wing window

One more thing I thought of. Your cranks and door release handles probably(?) use a c-clip like a modern GM. 1936 did anyhow. There is a difference in these old ones, and the modern slider tool everybody has to remove GM c-clips does not work. Out of the currently available tools, you need the tool that looks like pliers and grabs the clip from the sides, not the tool that slides under the handle.
