I saw this done by a guy, he was not working on a Buick ... he went to the bone yard to get a replacement window - I dont know how he got the old one out, probably cut the rubber on the outside ... what I did see was he put a heavy string into the rubber channel that was in the car and lubricated the rubber heavily with liquid soap. He set the bottom of the glass into the botton of the gasket. Next he started pulling the string out which spread the gasket wide and the glass just popped into place. I saw it, it looked simple, I don't know that I could do it. Maybe you should try it.

I guess the tipping point would be what is the cost to have it done VS the cost of your getting a used glass from the bone yard.

Good luck.

Thanks for visiting FixYa.com this morning ...

Wiper issue

wiper arm bolt needs to be tighened, or more common the arm needs to be replaced. where the bolt is the end arm insert is made of soft led as to strip out if arm becomes binded by snow, tree branch etc so the more expentise linkage or wiper trasmisson, or motor do not become damaged.

Replacing front fender

My son went around a curve one night and hit a tree stump that was in the middle of the road. It put the front bumper under the truck, busted the radiator, the framing brace that supported the radiator and the A/C condenser. There was even wood in the frame from the impact. He also needed to replace a fender from a previous accident. After getting everything installed on the engine, they had a problem putting the fenders back on.

The passenger's side fender fit perfectly except where the hood was hitting in one spot. The fender was about 2 to 3 inches too high and the guys were threatening to take a hammer and beat it down. But after getting a stronger light and searching the frame of the truck from all angles, they found out there was still one bolt that needed to be removed. Once it was removed, the fender went on smoothly. They didn't get to use the hammer like they were threatening!
