Glass


I need to replace the glass (window and vent), as well as all rubbers, on the passanger door on the 67 SD. Looks like its been sandblasted...not pretty! Easy enough to do? Looked at a few places in the US to purchase, and they are not to expensive, but are they hard to put in? or best left to the pro's?

Wow, no reply. I'll take a shot at it then, although I'm more a big car and Acadian guy.

Not a bad job to do the basic change. The struggle will come in when you go to adjust it all properly after the change, so that you don't have wind noise and water leaks. If you are not comfortable with it but want to learn, do you happen to have a friend who has experience and would be willing to work with you on it? It also is easier if you do have a second set of hands to hold the glass up sometimes when you are trying to line up the window lift mechanism.

Don't be embarrassed if you are the type who doesn't want to try it. It's not a job everyone likes, that is for sure...
