I'm 23 and just got my 50 ford crestliner from trading an old willys wagon for it. I'm in the process of slowly going through it. It runs and drives great right now but it need the glass installed in the passenger windowdoor and the drivers side rear glass. It's a 2 door sedan with roll up back windows. I was wondering how to remove the glass from the door since it is in half to install new glass all help is appreciated. Thanks Trevor

Replacing glass is basically the same for most cars. First, the inside trim panel must be removed after taking off the handles, which are held by clips or pins, and the window garnish (trim) must come off. The panel is secured by clips that snap into the door, and can be released by putting a thin blade, such as a putty knife, between the panel and the door frame. The window is then rolled down so the "hairpins" holding the glass channel to the regulator can be pulled. The glass can then be lowered into the door, and worked out thru the opening. You may have to release the glass channel at the bottom to give room, and then roll the regulator arms upward, as well. The inside of the door openings are usually quite sharp, so protect your arms and hands. Some cars require that the regulator be unbolted from the frame, but try first to work the glass out so you don't have to readjust the regulator when finished. Reverse this procedure to install the new glass.

It is also very helpful to have a "Cuss words of America" Dictionary at your side to assist at those times that your vocabulary is not quite sufficient to do the job. Alan
