Repairing a car window is considered to be an easy job since you it will not require you to exert a lot of effort and skill. All you need to have is patience and simple tools in restoring your car window. Using the tools, you can get the problem done all by yourself with no hassle at all. I have come up with these steps on how to easily replace your car windows. All you have to do is to follow these simple instructions and you will be able to replace your car window all by yourself. 1. Get rid of the largest pieces of glass from the broken window before proceeding. Vacuum any small pieces that you see. 2. Remove the door card, taking care not to puncture or tear the plastic moisture barrier you'll find underneath. You will likely need at least one screwdriver to remove it, and shop manuals unfortunately don't usually specify which. The screws will give you a hint if it's a flat head or a Philips which will lead you in removing them. Check with your shop guidebook for any information on the door and window design. If any other tools are required, the shop manual should identify. However, it's highly improbable other tools will be needed for this task. Be sure not to break or destroy the door card. 3. Next thing is to put the door card on your tarp. Draw a rough diagram of the door on a piece of cardboard. ??Next, tape any screws, bolts or other hardware you've removed from your door card to the cardboard diagram. You'll use the diagram to place the hardware exactly where it needs to go when reassembling the door. Remove the weather stripping from the top of your door. 4. Vacuum any remaining glass pieces out of the inside of the door. Do the same for the weather stripping. 5. Remember the position of the clips and bracket inside the door that will grip to your new glass. Replace the weather stripping. 6. Align the new piece of glass with the opening in the weather stripping. Gently move the glass all the way down to the channel in the door. Keep a close watch on how it moves down toward your lift mechanism. If anything is blocking the glass from reaching the lift mechanism, ease the glass back out and remove the blockage. Keep attempting to slide the glass into place until you succeed. 7. Test your window to make sure it works correctly before replacing the door card. Make any necessary modification. Replace your door card, and wash all the fingerprints off your new window.
