I will try to get the glass track back on with the regulator loose or off enough to get on (wife can finally help me and hold the glass). The front roller is the hard one because the glass is hitting against that metal cross piece I was asking about. So you do not think it is necessary to keep?
When the vent wing is in place the spring is sitting on one side and the channel is on the other side of that metal cross strip. The driver side is way easier to get the vent wing in and I hope the glass as well.
Thank you for the help and patience you show!
