I am trying to put in door windows and Vent Windows in a 1956 GMC pickup.
They came out but how do they go back ?

The brackets on the bottom can make some nasty scratches if not careful. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 4 | Yeah, but can I assume that the vent window assembly goes in BEFORE the window regulator? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | Actually the vent assembly will likely go in last, at least that's the way it is with most cars and trucks. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 | IIRC, the vent goes in first, then the regulator. Make sure the regulator is retracted somewhat.
I'm old, but I thought I did the vent first without the regulator so that I'd have more room in there. Then after installing the vent/channel LOOSELY, and inserted the regulator and got the screws in a few threads. I kept it all loose to get some extra wiggle. I think side glass was last.
