Default Re: Door Glass Installation help

Have someone help you hold the glass part way up, fit the end of the regulator arm into the bottom channel and re-install the regulator.

You may have some other problem that we are not aware of as this should be a relative easy job. I have done it several times by myself.

I'm must be missing something very obvious here. I apologize in advance that I'm not understand something. I took a few pictures to help me explain what's making this so difficult. If there's something anybody sees that's not right please let me know. The top plate is gone and the side channels are all in place. But if I line up the glass to the inner part of the door the glass is wider than the open space to fit the glass into. If I try to put one side of the glass in the side channel then there's no way of getting the other side in the opposite channel. The glass would fit fine if I could get it into both side channels. If I try to insert the bottom of the glass into the top of the door it's impossible. The glass is wider than the opening. There's about half an inch of overhang on each side.

I took a picture of the glass lined up flush to the door. You'll have to look hard to see what I mean by the glass being wider than the window opening.
