Mark,
Regards #3 - this is what works for me.
I went thru this procedure last week, replacing my driver's door glass
before heading to Solvang.
After doing the preliminary steps of removing the interior handles, the
interior door panel, then the front vent window assembly out (by sliding
it straight up), and removing some screws holding an interior bar at the
left and the rollup mechanism at the right, I found the best way of
removing the glass was by pulling it straight up, then angling it
inwards from the top towards the car interior (bottom edge parallel to
the door). The rubber window squeegee is flexible and forgiving of the
glass rubbing against it as you pull the glass and the bottom angle
brackets out. Because the angle brackets are at 90degrees, this works
pretty good. Putting it back in, just reverse this step, then align the
forward roller in the track, lastly install the rear roller track.

The "R" is coming together, and I need to ask for some advice from those
who
have BTDT on a couple of items - never hurts to rely on others
experience to
save time and headaches.

3. I remember having to go through all sorts of conniptions to get the
door
glass out, turning it this way and that until I could finally get it out
of
the door top opening. Can anyone offer some tips for reassembling door
glass,
tracks, etc. i.e. sequential steps
