Difficulty In Fixing Your Broken Car Window?

When dealing with your cars, some problems are easier to fix than others

. For example, a broken headlight is something you can replace effortlessly. It's a lot more difficult for you to pull large dents out of body panels on your own. Fortunately, broken windows fall into the formers category. With a few simple tools and a little persistence, you can keep the elements on the outside of your car where they belong.

I have come up with these steps on how to easily replace your car windows. All you have to do is to follow these simple instructions and you will be able to replace your car window all by yourself.

1. You need to remove first the biggest part of glass from the wrecked window before continuing. Vacuum any small pieces that you see.

2. Remove the door card, taking care not to puncture or tear the plastic moisture barrier you'll find underneath. You will likely need at least one screwdriver to remove it, and shop manuals unfortunately don't usually specify which. The screws will give you a hint if it's a flat head or a Philips which will lead you in removing them. Consult your shop manual for any specific directions regarding the door and window device. If any other tools are required, the shop manual should identify. However, it's highly improbable other tools will be needed for this task. Be sure not to break or destroy the door card.

3. Next thing is to put the door card on your tarp. Draw a rough diagram of the door on a piece of cardboard. ??Next, tape any screws, bolts or other hardware you've removed from your door card to the cardboard diagram. You'll use the diagram to place the hardware exactly where it needs to go when reassembling the door. Remove the weather stripping from the top of your door.

4. Vacuum any remaining glass pieces out of the inside of the door. Do the same for the weather stripping.

5. Take note of the location of the clips and bracketry inside the door that will hold your new glass. Replace the weather stripping.

6. Align the new piece of glass with the opening in the weather stripping. Carefully ease the glass down into the channel in the door. Keep a close watch on how it moves down toward your lift mechanism. If anything is blocking the glass from reaching the lift mechanism, ease the glass back out and remove the blockage. Just continue in trying to slide the glass until it fits.

7. Test your window to make sure it works correctly before replacing the door card. Make any necessary modification. Replace your door card, and wash all the fingerprints off your new window.
