New door glass and vent window install ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevydog66 · 09-04-2012, 08:44 PM

I have all new glass to get installed in my 72 GMC after paint this weekend. Should I let a pro do it or can I handle it? I have read about the rivets in the vent window and considered ordering the new rivets from www.classicparts.com. How do I replace the side glass in the tracks? I also have new regulators to install. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting ready to do the same thing. Do a search for "sash window" and all kinds of good info pops up. GL

Maybe I just searched "sash." Anyway I linked a couple of threads that might help and there's plenty more.

Just changed out my driver side regulator today. It was a fairly easy job. Parts were from Classic Parts of America.

Wish I would of changed out the locking mechanisms while I was there.

Here's a great link

OK. I'm sure I can do the door glass by myself. I'm just a little unsure of the vent windows.
