Just curious if anyone knows the order in which to reinstall the vent windows, and side windows. Any tips would be appreciated as well.

Take note of this passage (from the post above):

***Edited by mod***Here's a tip from incoma on reinstalling the vent.
"A trick to getting the vent window to install without a lot of pushing, scratching of paint, and general trouble is to loosen the rear window guide. This guide has 3 bolts - one on the back of the door, and two towards the bottom of the door just inside where the door panel mounts. Without loosening this bracket, you'll have to bend the vent window frame to get the vent window installed."
Have fun!

It seems like a daunting task, but its actually really easy

And I'd like to add....put A LOT of painters tape on it so you don't scratch the beautiful paint!
