Window glass hardware
And how to remove. I've searched, but didn't uncover much. I have the AIM for my '82 and it, too, really doesn't tell me much about how to remove the hardware on the door windows. I have to replace the passenger side window due to the PO's apparent lockout and subsequent chipping of the glass as whomever tried to pop the lock with a lock-out tool. I can remove the window - that's easy.. did that on the driver side to repair a floppy mirror mount. But I want to transfer the hardware to the new window for the passenger side.
I understand the three attachments across the bottom - the mounting bolts and the roller - have that flat nut that is supposed to be able to be unscrewed from their respective bolt shafts. I can handle that. It's the last "bumper" piece at the front I can't figure out. Looks like it's a simple snap together piece - four arms over the edge. Is it that simple? Pop those arms loose and it should come apart? Or, should I order all new hardware and just be done with it (easiest route)?

Street: saw those steps... didn't address the glider in question
rbow: almost the same step by step as the other link, still didn't show that specific piece of plastic!

Yes, the 'bumper' just snaps together.
