Please pass this to the list Chris, I can at least see the post when
you do it.



Window removed - took 6+ hours (90 minutes would be reasonable)

The service manual instructions are correct:

- Remove armrest handle and trim panel including weathershield

- Remove inner glass weatherstrip

- Remove rear glass screws. Be sure window is fully raised.

- Lower window enough to remove the retaining nuts and washers that
attach the door glass to the regulator.

- Then carefully remove the glass



However, for an Aug73 build-date car they should also include, before
the last step.



- Remove door exterior handle - see Section 44

       with a note - to remove actuating rod, adjust toward door lock
until end at latch is free

- Remove door latch - see Section 44

- Let window slide down to bottom of travel and rotate rear of window
up to extract it vertically through the slot.



Nothing to it (except a Sunday afternoon)



thanks

dave

Could you post this for me?, I know you're interested.

I must be on some forbidden list because just I can't post anything.

#6143 & I were rolling along pretty well with the electrical stuff
I have to do,

 then I started the first mechanical job and stalled on window removal.

  

>>>From the service manual

- Remove armrest handle and trim panel including **weathershield**

- Remove inner glass weatherstrip

- Remove rear glass screws. Be sure window is fully raised.

- Lower window enough to remove the retaining nuts and washers that
attach the door glass to the regulator.

- Then carefully remove the glass

  

It's all good up to the remove the glass part.

The glass is free inside the door but I can't find a way to wiggle it
out.

  

(Now I don't know what
weathershield means - maybe a Ford guy coping with an Italian
non-manual.

I did  remove the inner weatherstrip and the weatherstrip from the rear
glass-run and rear frame )

  

Anyone have a clue for me?
