Installing the window begins with fitting the new window through the two-inch wide slot located on the top of the door panel. Unbolting some bolts on the door panel may be required during this process. The next step is to ensure that the glass is aligned after the bracket bolts and the weather-stripping have been restored. After this, the door panel needs to be replaced and aligned to the window crank lever. Congratulations, your car window replacement is complete!
