Grab a cheap set of plastic panel tools so you don’t scratch the paint while getting the door card off.

Then you install the window glass into the door and bolt it back onto the regulator. Then carefully lower it (helps to have 2 people to make sure it doesn't bind up and catch on something). Then install the window frame assembly over the glass. The window will move a little to allow you to install it. Then bolt everything up, and adjust the window frame in slightly so it doesn't leak air/water.

I've done it many many times and it's not a bad job at all. With the glass and frame from a pick n pull type yard I'd expect you to walk out for 50-65.00 for everthing. Heck some places only charge 65.00 for the entire door!!! Which is a steal because you get everything!!!
Agreed. Did this the other day in the process of replacing the door lock actuator and I was astounded by how simple it was.

This window security film installs easily just like window tint, but it prevents bricks from easily breaking your new glass:

Got a replacement window next day from Paul Grant- huge props to him for far exceeding expectations.

Having trouble with getting window frame off due to rusted and stripped bolts. How to get those out?
