Anyone replace a window in a Toyota?

Post by Vinny »

So this girl I'm trying to hook up with got her car broken into last night, and in my drunken stupor I told her "oh yeah I can put a window in for ya no problem." Truth be told I've never installed a window in anything before. Can anyone give me any tips? :)

I assume there is some sort of clamping mechanism that mounts the window to the regulator. Is it really as simple as sliding the glass down the channel and bolting it back into place? I can't find any info on Google. Oh yeah, it's a front door glass that was broken.

More than likely once I get it apart it will make sense, but if anyone has any tips that would be great. I also have a buddy with a FSM set for his Tacoma, I doubt it's too different of a setup/procedure.

Way to go Vinny :lol:

If it's like a Neon :roll: it'll kinda bolt on with a couple bolts that pass through the liftplate/regulator and screw into some retainers on the window. Should be pretty strait forward once you get it apart.

How the hell does the window go into the tracks? Am I going to try and insert the glass from the inside or outside?

Outside, here's something that might help you though you already said you have a FSM from a Tacoma.
