Door window removal MKII

How do you get to the rollers to remove the door window. Is there a trick to it? Any help would be appreciated. John Hamilton

They aren't really rollers. They are stability guides but don't roll. They will come out by removing the spring clip that goes down into a groove on the regulator arm pin.

If you're trying to remove the window without removing the vent window assembly, you may get it out, but it's likely you won't get it back in. The stops have to come up through acess openings closer to the front of the car and you can't do that with the vent assembly in the way.

You'll have to open both lower panels to get to the clips with the window lowered all the way. You'll also have to remove the clip for the glide that attached to the door.

Thanks for the reply. I was just hoping that somebody had a trick to getting thed clips off and back on. They are very blind and hard to reach.

You will never get the clips back on, in-situ. The glides are designed to be assembled to the window tracks before the arm pin goes into them. The spring makes it impossible to reinstall it in place. The glides are installed on the 3 tracks before the window arms snap into them. There is only one way to do this.
