How To Replace Window Glass



Replacing Window Glass Side Windows
Each quarter-window consists of four basic parts and four screws. Two machine screws and two self-tapping countersunk screws tie the stainless and die-cast together around the rubber and glass.		 Replacing Window Glass Installing The Weatherstripping
Our new tempered glass from Muscle City Glass is wrapped in rubber first. If it's damaged, check with any local auto glass shop for a suitable replacement.		 Replacing Window Glass Installing The Weatherstripping
Once the glass is wrapped in the gasket, use soapy water as a lubricant to get it into the frame. Gently hit the glass with a soft mallet to seat it.
Replacing Window Glass Installing The Frame
Glass is retained with stainless, as shown. Two button-head machine screws retain the stainless bottom.		 Replacing Window Glass Mallet
Two self-tapped, countersunk common screws retain it at top behind the weatherstrip. Use a mallet to seat the glass and stainless.		 Replacing Window Glass Door Side
Door-side glass goes together the same way as quarter-window glass. It's retained with a gasket along its bottom, as well as stainless. Stainless goes around the top and stamped steel is at the bottom. Two countersunk machine screws hold everything together.
Replacing Window Glass Wing Window
Wing-window glass is a simple pinch fit-also called an interference fit. The glass fits snugly in a stainless steel frame.		 Replacing Window Glass Edge
You can replace wing-window glass without taking the door apart. Just open the wing window for access.		 Replacing Window Glass Removing
Because wing glass is a simple pinch fit, replacement is easy. Gently wedge in a common screwdriver and it pops out. When you install replacement glass, use 3M Windo-Weld Super-Fast Urethane sealer and adhesive (PN 08609). Once this stuff cures, the window glass is secured.
