Hi everyone,
I am trying to remove this glass window. I consulted with the FAQs section and also with my Haynes and I can't seem to figure out how to get the window out. What I did so far is to remove the following clips

from where the red arrows point to here:

From reading the instructions it sounds like I should be able to get the arms to slide just from removing those clips. But the arms do not budge. What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Laura

There is a ball on the end of the regulator arm.Take a screwdriver and pry the arm off the plastic slider.When the glass becomes free,lower the front of it a few inches and raise the glass to the inside.

Take the "." of the end of the second url. It should look like this:

I do not have the Body-Glass manual nor have I ever removed the window glass. when you figure this out, kindly edit the FAQ section appropriately and email me the results.

Howdy,

I removed a 740 window recently. It looked identical to what you are dealing with on your car. The clips looked different from the ones you show but the arms attached to the sliders the same way. I am not certain the bobby pin shaped clips you show in your picture are the ones that need to come off to free the window mechanism.

Feel on the backside of the pins where you have arrows drawn. Can you feel a metal clip similar to the one located on the shaft that is located in the upper left of center location of the picture? If so, you need to get to those pins on the backside and slide the clips off. Once those clips are removed, the arms will pop out. You might have to jiggle it around a bit. Now remove the clip on the shaft that slides with the mechanism that is located in the upper left of center location of the picture; that is the other end of the arm that rides in the front track on the bottom. The entire motor and arms assembly should be free from the glass now.

The glass is held in place with plastic clips on the bottom of the glass that slide in the tracks. Once they are clear of the pins on the arms, the plastic slides will come right out the end of the track. You may have to work those off the bottom of the glass, I don't recall. The glass, once free of the lifting mechanism, will lift out at an angle, rear first, tilted to the inside. Just keep working it until it comes out.

When you put the glass back, be sure to get it into the track in front. If the window does not track properly, it will pop out and jam and maybe even break something. Be sure to check alignment at all points with the window up and down and all points in between. Make any adjustments necessary before calling it a done deal.

Let us know how it goes.

EDIT>>

I forgot; the motor is bolted in. You can unbolt it to gain room to move the glass. If the object of the exercise is to replace the motor anyway, then of course it must come undone.
