Default reassembling driverside window in 79 vette

I have a 79 vette with power windows. a while back I removed my driverside window(with the help of you guys) because the teeth on that half-moon gear where stripped off. I am now about to purchase the replacement gear and am asking for some insight on how to get all of this back in that tiny crack in the door properly. thanks for any help.

I dont understand why you took the window out to repair the regulator, I did this repair on my ' 80 quite a while ago and didnt remove the window glass. I suppose that if the glass is out there has to be a way to get it back in if everything in its way is (RE)moved to allow enough room . Clean and regrease all those slides, rollers and moving parts when you start to get it all back together. Peace,,,Moosie
