Re: Replacing Windows in a C3 (varay)
Take off the door panels, then slowlly raise the window and there are two bolts holding the window on the track. there are also two bolts holding these stopers in the front and the back to conrtol the hieght of the window. take those out first. If you slowlly raise the window you can align those bolts and the bolts holing the window to the rail with holes on the door. After you take all those bolts out I think they are 9/16" but I'm not positive, then just pull the top of the window with it all the way up towards the inside of the car causing the bottom of the window to go away from the car and out of the rail. Then just lift up the window and be careful not to scratch the paint on the mirror. I've done this job more times then I care to admit. If you have any other questions just let me know. Good luck.
