I guess you aren't in Elkhart, because that's about 80 miles from Kilgore!
Nope, not seeing anything you have said as belittling, only as helpful and encouraging. I have all three manuals, Service, Overhaul, and Chassis. I haven't had any problem with 95% of this, I tried to read and watch a number of You Tubes. So getting the door apart and window out is zero issues for me - basic mechanical operations inside a manual door.
My questions come to very specific things, Re: best way to pull apart the window from the channel - then the best product to set the window back into the channel. The latter I ask since others had problems with the "glass setting tape" being to thick and not to use adhesive (or you'll never get it apart again).
I am not scared of this at all but now I have gone down a rabbit hole, I am trying to get all the information I can get - not that I don't think I can do it
Hope that makes better sense where I am coming from on my #6 posting on this stupid broken lower channel :'(
