Default Door glass replacement

Well I'm getting ready to put the glass back in the doors. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to make it go in easier than it came out. Vent window first? Door glass first? It was like 6 months ago that I took it out and all I remember is that it was a pain in the butt to get out. I am going to tape the new paint off so I don't scratch it of course.

Thanks, Jeff

Heres how I done it last week. I'm not sure its the correct to the letter way of doing it, but it worked for me. I placed the glass in the door first and left the plastic rollers off so that the window would sit all the way to the bottom of the door. I then installed the vent window frame. Next was the inner and outter felts that snap into the top of the door that cushion the glass. I then pulled the window up and installed the plastic rollers in the track with their retainers. Again, Im not sure thats its the right way, but it worked for me.

I used the same method except I installed the inner and outer felts after the window was able to go up and down for some odd reason. After looking at everything I honestly think this is the only way to do it.

I struggled with the vent window and had to find someone with smaller hands to get in there but that was the only problem I had with the install. Make sure to take your time!!!
