The vent window or the window. I took my vent window out to replace the seals but am having a heck of a time replacing the window regulator and vent window back into the door. Any advice???

The vent window would go first,The window will go in if you can take the 2 screws out down at the bottom of the rear window runner it will help.Sometimes you can squize it in but the last time I took the screws out

I have to disagree with that. I found it's easier to install the regulator and the roll up glass, then the wing assembly. Once the regulator and glass is installed, slide the glass all the way back toward the door locks. (you have to have the rear guide track unbolted)

Then there will be enough room to slip in the wing assembly. Then slide window forward and bolt the rear guide track back in place.

Im painting my truck today and gutted both doors yesterday so the procedure is still fresh in my mind. I've done many before and found this to be the best way.
