Thanks

Remove the door panel.
With the window mostly up, remove the front window stop at the front of the lower window frame, where the window rides in the front guide.
At the rear of the door, above and below the latch, are two plugs (chassis plugs). Remove these with a screwdriver (don't scratch you paint) and loosen the rear window stop (allen head screw) so the stop can be moved out of engagement with the lower window frame. Then loosen the upper and lower rear guide bolts.
Remove the rubber window bumper at the bottom of the door.
Let the window all the way down and remove the fuzzies. Hopefully you were planning to replace them 'cause they'll be ruined by removal. Use care not to chip paint. Good luck.
Raise/lower the window so you can pry the regulator pins from the rollers. (they snap in). May want someone holding the window up while doing this.
You should now be able to lift the window/frame assembly up and out of the door.
You MIGHT be able to get the window out with the fuzzies in but I haven't tried that.
I think that's all but I'll keep thinking about it.
Good Luck,
BB

- Wrap holes in door with duct tape

that way it will keep you from cutting
and scratching your arms, trying to work through those holes.

Not so worried about scratching paint as this is coming out of a parts door.
thanks again!!

This is a passenger side door; now less window!
Not ruted but may need a skin if you aren't a good body man because it has a little ding plus some numb-numb tried to pry the door handle off which distorted the sheet metal around the handle.
I believe a little bumping and grinding (no dancing please!) would fix it.
If not, a new skin would do the trick.
Door is located in Oklahoma City area, if I haven't scared you off, and I would sell.
Feel free to PM me if interested.
Thanks
