DOOR GLASS
Removal
Remove the door trim panel and watershield. See DOOR TRIM PANEL .
Loosen front glass run retainer retaining screw and position retainer forward.
CAUTION:Do not attempt to pry out the rivets as damage to the glass could result.

NOTE:Prior to removing the rivet center pins, it is recommended that a suitable block support be placed between the door outer panel and the glass bracket to stabilize the glass during rivet removal.

Lower glass to gain access to 2 glass bracket rivets and remove the center pins from rivets using a drift punch. Using a 1/4 inch diameter drill, drill out remainder of rivets.
Remove the glass.
Installation
Insert the glass into door between outer belt weatherstrip and inner panel.
Position glass into door frame and lower window to align with regulator bracket.
NOTE:Torque must not exceed 7-10 ft. lbs. (9-14 N.m).

Install 2, 1/4 inch rivets using Rotunda Blind Fastener Installation Tool 107-00600 or equivalent (use of 1/4-20 X 1 inch screw and washer assemblies and 1/4-inch-20 nut and washer assemblies is optional). Equivalent metric fasteners may also be used.
Adjust door glass as outlined.
Install watershield, door trim panel and armrest. See DOOR TRIM PANEL .
