Window Frame
The driver's side window frame was removed to change the door lock.
It also has to be removed to change glass, the window lifting
mechanism or any of the rubber or felt seals.
- Remove the door panel. This is discussed here.
- Screw off the push button and remove the narrow upper wrap-around
panel. For many activities this panel does not have to be removed.
- Remove the socket head screws that are accessed from the edge of
the door. There are two at the top of the door at the front and the
back edge. There is one at the lower rear edge.
- Raise the window to enable access to the inside of the door.
 Remove the socket head screws that hold the
lower ends of the window frame to the door. The T-handle Allen wrench
is invaluable here.
- There is one more socket screw on the door approximately where the
wing window lock is located.
- Lower the window.
- Now the frame can be lifted from door. If it catches at the back
edge, push in the frame slightly so the top screw plate will clear
the door sheet metal.
