Ok, I don't know if I've just ben working on the Superior to long today or what, but, I've taken the front door glass out, and I'm now trying to figure out how to get the rear side door glass out. I'm sure there is a simple answer to this, but does anyone know?:confused: Thanks in advance for your help.

Let me know if you need help with anything else...I'm pretty handy.
 
I know, I know, pick me, pick me!!!!

it comes out about like the front door unless you took that out the hard way. remove all your trim from the inside. roll the glass all the way up. but as it comes up tip it and the felt run Chanel to the inside. so it goes up past the top. keep rolling it up till it lifts out of the door and slid it off the rollers. same as the front door.

71 is not that bad to put in and out but that 65 to 67 body that center door glass is a b.

now sometimes the rollers will get hung up on the door shell and you got to help them threw the hole. but I'm sure you can't get the top off the door with the glass in that one.
 
Thanks Ed, I don't know what I would do without you. If this thing happens to get finished in time to go to Daytona, I just might let you take her for a spin. The front door glass I got them lose and was able to turned them sideways and lift them straight out. Hoping to have her ready for the paint shop by mid January.

yep the hard way. here is enough room to do it in front with the taper in the glass. but you have to take the regulator loose. much easier to roll it up and slide it off.
the key in putting the center door glass back in is to have the felt run Chanel in place. the riser up and out of the opening. slid the glass on the rollers, then holding all three pieces together with you free hand roll the riser down till the glass falls in place and will slide down in the door. kind of a 3 hand wrestling match for about a minute till it starts in to the opening.

if I remember right on that one there is a tab or two welded on the shinny up right that won't let you pull it with the glass still in the door. if you leave the fuzzy strip out, the glass goes in easily. but there is not enough room to slide them down in with the glass in place. unlike a normal car you can't loosen the lower leg. it's all one piece from the top to the bottom. trust me I did it the old fashion way by trial and error half a dozen times before understanding how it went. the second one is always easier.

to get the up rights out on a superior you need to remove the top from them as the up rights need to be twisted to clear the opening. once you have one apart you can understand there construction technique. there are vary few changes from year to year.

MM doors are way different but there glass goes in and out the same way. as did the S&S I had apart. we'll get to see on this eureka
 
Did what you said, and had it out in about 2 minutes. Once you understand how Superior put this stuff together, its not to hard to figure out how to get it apart. Its the figuring out how they put it together part thats sometimes the hard part. Thanks again for your help.

Installing door glass is like algebra and geometry.. you either understand it, and don't have any problem doing it, or you struggle with it every time.
