I am in the process of removing my vent window to replace a window regulator in my 71. I have it all removed but i cant get the very end out of the top of the door. There is a piece riveted at a 90 at the very end of the bottom piece that wont fit. Am i doing something wrong or is there a trick to getting it out? Thanks.

If I remember right there is a notch in top of door inner and outer sheet metal where it will fit through. If you have not removed weather strip I do not believe you can get it also.
