Removal of Vert's Quarter Window, not super acurrate, nooby guide *FIXED PICS* Options

[vile_v]

I am no mechanic, i just like to open stuff up and learn about them but so far this is what i got. Alright I hope this really help you guys out.

I have gotten it working once but the alignment was off, came out too much. This was because of the improper timing with the window motor and regulator. Tried it the 2nd time turns out my positioning plate was totally messed up, and broke one of my window guides. Need to order 2 new plates now. Sucks oh well...

Here are some pics i drew, i'll replace them with picture when i open everything up again, need to have some cash to order the parts first though aha.



*** Red Arrow = Screws

This is the removal of the interior parts, if i remeber correctly these screw, platic screw have to be removed first. *NOTE you might have to remove your seats*



*** Light blue = Speaker Plate
*** Yellow Arrow = Speaker Plate Screw

Remove the speaker plate, its easy 3 screws and a connector



*** Green Thing = Window Regulator
*** Red X's = Screws (4 for the window regulator) (other 2 for the upper plate)

This is where it gets tricky, i removed the 4 bolts on the window regulator/motor first, the motor/regulator is now held on by one screw that is connected to the window plate, if i remeber correctly
*The 2 screw on top are to hold the plates that hold the side interior piece screw holes*



*** Dark Blue Thing = Window
*** Orange Thing = Positioning Plate
*** Pink Stars = Positioning Plate Screws
*** Black Star = Screw connecting the window and regulator
*** Blue Circle = Window Guides

Here is the hardest part to explain. After unboltening the window regulator, what i did next was removed the 3 bolts that hold the position/aligment plate( *Its kinda hard to get to because the studs extend to far towards you, that when you push on them there still not enough room to pull the plate out. *VERY CONFUSING TRYING TO EXPLAIN THIS*

well if you did get the screw off *DONT LET ANY DROP DOWN, ITS A BIG PAIN IN THE YOU KNOW WHAT TO GET BACK* whats left is the one screw on from the motor to the window, if you remove this *CATCH THAT ONE NUT, ITS IMPORTANT* the motor drop down, and the you should be able to wiggle out the mirror. *NOTE THAT there are 2 positioning tabs on each side, kinda beside the window. You just need to loosen them and than you can move them out of your way to pull out the window. Than push out the positioning plate, you should have enough clearance now to clear the studs out. and lastly the motor.

I hope that helps. Thats what i can remeber from the top of my head.
