1972 Dart 1/4 Glass install- Glass on Frame Before or After to install????

[chickendeluxe]

Another thread I'm sure......

I assembled regulators after sourcing needed replacement parts.
All cleaned and lubicated and woking fine without glass....
Customer broke bolts in Glass frame...

So back at it....*****Hope this makes semse******

Glass After- Regulator and Slides- Is it best to keep regulators and frame assembled all together and then bolt Glass onto frame-
or
Bolt Glass to frame "Before: and reinstall Regulator to it and rework all slides, etc- This isnt working very good!


There are window holes to fasten blots to Frame in car.
It seems 'Rear Slide" should be OFF, to not have regulator Arm "Spring force" on it.

Input appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

I remember it being a challenge to install everything and we tried a few different ways. Reference chapter 6 in the 71 Dodge body service manual. its got some diagrams and instructions for glass replacement.

I’m putting glass in after everything is installed.
