The roll up door glass goes in a metal channel with window tape, get a little from your local glass shop. The vent wing assembly must come loose. The roll up glass goes in from the top. The vent assembly has a 1/2 inch bolt that can only be reached from the bottom with an extension. Take off the access panel at the door bottom and reach up. There are also a couple of screws under the molding that have to come out. Unless you are real patient and willing to spend some time this job is best left to the glass experts. I would say that of all the procedures on a 52, the vent windows and door glass are the most difficult to install or replace. Thats why most people go to the earlier doors with the single piece glass. There are kits to eliminate the vent assemblies. If you are doing that get the electric kits or make your own. Good luck.
