1957 New door & vent glass assembly.

[Bad4wd]

I was trying to fined the cheapest way to rebuild my door glass on my '57 Chevy & keep it original. So for 350.
This is where I'm at.

The powder coating for the frames was, 60.
Glass, rubber & shipping was, 270.
SS rivets was, 10.
Urethane sealant, 10.

Does anyone have or can point me in the directions of the reassembly instructions for a 57 door, including the vent window, crank assembly etc? I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. My dad is restoring his 57 Big Window and doesn't remember how everything came apart and goes back together. Thanks for your help.

I may be too late with this but I'll mention it anyway. When replacing the side windows in a TF getting the beltline "fuzzies" in can be the trickiest part to do without scratching the window frame. If you remove three of the bolts that hold the window regulator in and also the front screw that holds the window frame to the regulator it will allow the window to drop down farther and give more working room to get the beltline strips snapped in. I changed my door windows recently and I don't think I could have gotten them in without doing it this way. It also helped that I have some pliers with flat tips that open outward instead of inward like regular pliers and those really helped getting them snapped in. Hope this helps.
