Hi All,
I'm reaching out because I need to replace my driver's side window, which was hit and shattered. I found a replacement window glass on eBay, but it comes with everything still attached, so I’ll need to carefully remove the rivets.
Can someone here post a link to the hardware (nuts, bolts, etc.) needed to install the window? That would be amazing! I’d really appreciate any links or photos of the exact items I would need to purchase. Any suggestions on making the job easier would also be appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time and assistance!------------------

Using the PFF Search Function and "Replacing Door Glass"

Few of the answers I found:
| quote | fierohoho:
The rivets that hold the glass to the track are a pop rivet type, I removed the center pin of the pop rivet first with a small hammer and center punch, I did this to (5) five windows so far without breaking one, then I drilled out the rivets with a 1/4" drill bit.
There are, (2) two rivets that hold the glass to the track and there are (2) two rivets in these big white knobs that cause the window to tip in against the weather strip at the top of the windows travel when they hit the stops, if you remove them the window comes right out the top. |
|
| quote | BtotheB:
Definitely the easiest way to go is to drill out the four rivets, and just pull the old glass out the top. I used 1/4" by 1" bolts with matching nuts and loctite to attach the new glass into place. |

|
| quote | Max The Chainsaw:
I replace the rivets with 1/4 X 1 inch bolts pushed in from the outside of the door and nuts on the inner side |
|
| quote | Ronnie:
I just drilled out each rivet and then replaced the glass with screws & locknuts. Be careful not to use a screw that's too long so it won't scratch your new glass. |
|
| quote | g2:
One other suggestion, when you drill out the rivets, replace them with stainless steel bolts/lockwashers/nuts. |

Good Luck!
