Chevrolet Trucks Window Replacement - One For The Money - Tech

With the wing window out, Kevin then removed the side window, which marked the last time this truck will ever use dual windows again.

The next step for Kevin was to remove the window regulator.

The kit utilizes the stock window regulator, but a few modifications do have to take place. Two of the channel rollers need to be removed in order to install the new OPP window rollers.

Kevin then installed the new OPP channel rollers on the OEM window regulator by using a hammer and a punch to secrue the roller to the regulator.

In order for the new larger one-piece window to fit in the door, a minor modification had to be made to the door latch; therefore, Kevin removed it.

Following the OPP instructions, Kevin ground down the obstructing tab on the latch and bent the latch spring. With that task finished, he then reinstalled the latch.

Kevin then installed the new OPP window weatherstripping around the window cavity.

Because the door was originally designed with two windows, the forward top edge of the door has a pretty wicked angle that prevents the felt from lining the window cavity flush. In order to get the felt to bend properly, Kevin cut a slit in the felt right at the apex of the bend in the door.

One of the new pieces that has to be installed is this OPP vertical window guide.
