Steps
Remove the door panel
Release the switch panel, door-pull trim, sail panel, and handle covers. Remove the panel screws, free its clips, lift it away, and unplug the courtesy lamp and switches.
Move the handle and speaker
Disconnect the interior handle cables and unbolt the handle. Peel the vapor barrier back carefully, then unplug and remove the speaker to create room for the glass.
Remove the old glass
Support the window securely and remove its regulator clamp bolts. Lift the glass upward and out through the door opening without scraping the painted frame.
Install and secure replacement glass
Lower the replacement glass into the guides and regulator clamps. Tighten the clamp fasteners to specification and cycle the window partway to check alignment before reassembly.
Restore components and test
Reinstall the speaker, handle cables, and vapor barrier, then connect the door-panel wiring. Refit the panel and trim, and test full window travel for smooth operation.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
