Chevrolet Trucks Window Replacement - One For The Money - Tech

By following the OPP instructions, Kevin measured where the two holes to mount the vertical guide plate need to be drilled....

...Once found, the holes were drilled, but the guide wasn't installed yet.

Another item that interferes with the new one-piece window is the upper door hinge safety bracket, the bracket that keeps your door from opening past a certain point. Kevin removed the bracket and installed the new OPP bumpstops in its place.

In the door's window opening there is a little bracket where the wing window once sat that needs to be removed. Kevin cut the bracket out with a cut-off wheel, but a hacksaw could be used as well.

In order for the new window to be installed,...

...Kevin first had to install the window regulator.

The last thing you want to do is scratch the new window while putting it in! To avoid a totally serious buzzkill, Kevin wrapped the window in a Space Age protective barrier...also known as tape.

The window was then slid down into the door.

The two new channel rollers on the window regulator slide into this new OPP channel. Kevin first slid the channel onto the regulator, then bolted the new channel to the window. Once that was complete, he then installed the vertical guide plate, and that was all she wrote.
