rear door glass removal.

[bluex]

I need to change the glass run rubber an I am going to attempt to tint the windows to when I do. Any tips/tricks to pulling both the windows out of the back door?

Thanks!

You may get more responses if you told people what type of vehicle it is.

Being that I posted this in the 73-87 blazer jimmy suburban section that should narrow it down I would think? Being that blazer and jimmys dont have back doors that would also narrow it to just suburbans, at least in my mind it did.

Regardless its an 89 GMC R3500 Crew Cab with a turbo 400 transmission and a 454 engine.

And before anyone says 89's dont belong in this section heres a picture.



Thanks!

Every Blazer I've ever owned had a back door. Some might call it a tailgate. A suburban has either a tailgate or a set of back doors. After seeing the picture of the crew cab we now know you are looking for assistance in removing the window glass from a rear passenger door.

I also said BOTH windows out of the door which to me narrowed it to only a side door, since a blazer/suburban with a tailgate only has one large piece of glass and a suburban with barn doors doesnt have glass run seals as the windows in the barn door dont roll down to my knowledge.

Anyway, yes thats what I'm asking about, sorry for the confusion.

Yea, I as thinking it "might be" the 02' burb.... That was the only obvious rear door option from your vehicle profile list.

Seriously? I know what section a question for a 2002 model would go in, again I asked about removing both windows from the door and a 2002 only has one. Had I asked this question in the general 73-87 section I would understand the confusion over what door I'm refering to. I didnt though as its about a rear door that only crew cabs and suburbans have. So I asked in the Suburban section, where such a question belongs since there isnt a crew cab section.

I dont understand why this is so difficult????

It wasn't. Neither was the quick search I performed and posted the results above that answered your question.

Gee thanks for pointing me to a thread that says the exact same thing my Haynes manual says.

Does anyone have anything helpful to add? Maybe someone who's actually removed the windows in question? if we can move past the ball busting that is?

Well I got it done. If anyone has any questions about it just ask.



Not bad for my first time doing tint I don't think.

What's the trick? I'm guessing you had to pull the stationary pieces of glass to get the roll up glass out.

Ya that's how I did it, I don't know if that's how you have to do it but it worked for me. I pulled everything out of the door except the latch an door handle linkage, I cleaned an regreased the regulator rollers, tinted the glass while it was out an painted the bar between the windows. I still have to put the door panels back on but I had to stop for the day so I'll button it up tomorrow.
