Found a replacement vent window - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I finally found a decent vent window in my favorite yard. The rest of the door is toast so I'm getting the whole thing to bring it home an work on it on my bench. Does anyone have any pics of disassembling, without breaking. Or even advice from others who have done this.
The only reference picture I can find is the one in the LMC catalog.

Near as I can tell is that there's two screws inside the door at the bottom, and the three up top, on the outside front. Are there any others?
Thanks

I found these videos on YouTube about door glass and components

Thanks, that's just what I needed to see. I hope it's as easy as they made it look. It should be. I plan on taking pics of the project.

Today I went and picked up the door with my "new" window still in it. When I got home I commenced with disassembly. Getting the window out was easier than getting the door handles loose. Thanks for the link to the video. Now I just have to take my broken one out and put the good one in. Should be a pretty quick job.
