I have a 1951 2 Ton 6100SW Dump. I'm trying to replace the drivers side door window which is broken. Door has vent glass too. Well I took the side cover off to see inside and what I have is glass resting in a metal channel. The channel has no screws on it to loosen. I'm thinking the glass is glued somehow in the channel. What steps should I take from here. Thanks

easiest is to remove the glass, with attached lower sash and take it to the glass shop for them to use as a pattern to replace it for you so all you have to do is re-install it wink

start with the shop manual instructions .... the whole assembly needs to be removed from the door to replace glass - yes, the glass is "glued" in the channel with special glass setting tape/compound your local glass shop knows how to deal with

If you insist on doing it yourself, you can heat it gently with a propane torch. get it just hot enough to soften the adhesive, don't try to set it on fire.
