Quarter window assembly plate... Options

[Vibe]

Hi, the plate that has the plastic rollers that allow the quarter window to roll up straight(on a vert...) broke, I did order the part but after taking off the plastic panle that has the speaker grille and such, it looks impossible to get too/off the window and back on etc etc.... I have PM'd a few people with verts and did alot of searching but can't quite find what I need to help me install this thing.

Has anyone done it, have info or how to type details?? It falls and rattles when I roll down the driver side window and I usually have to pull it up, prop iton the drivers window etc, so....anyone?

Thanks in advance

My local mechanic did it, but after he finished he vowed never to touch the celi again, he says it gives him nightmares

Thats what I was afraid of, any idea of labor time? Most likley I will end up paying a shop =(

yea vibe, I did it to both my rear windows, and its a pain in the ass. The problem is that i dont remember much. Roll the window all the way up using your hand to pull it if you have to. Unbolt the plate that connects to the window. I dropped plenty of nuts down there, and on the vert, theres no access so a magnetic retrival tool is a must.

Do you remember any of the big stuff you have to take out of the way? I wanna do this myself its just looking at it, it seems impossible to get to, nothing to unbolt and I dunno how to even get it off the window! >=/

Edit: I want your kit =P

look down at the bottm of the window, put a shop light so you see. The plate bolts on to the window. Your going to have to put a wrench down there to loosen it up. Remove the scres and then remove the window. Bolt your new plate to it. Give it a shot, thats all you can do

Yeah so I got the window out last night after like any hour, it was connected to the arm that rolls it up and down etc, but once I got it out I couldn't get the old plate off, it was connected by these weird things I have never seen before, so I had no tool to get them off. I'm pretty sure if I could get them off then I could put it back in with a little work. Any ideas, maybe you can ask your mechanic Shid? Or you have a flashback Mods?
Its raining here and my windows proped up by the vert top *tear*
