Here's the deal.. I got the 96 parts car with the side window I want.. I have the side mirror and strip off it and i pulled the window all the way to the top but it wont come out how do I get it off the rivets? do I have to drill them out?
I see, punch the center of the rivits out then drill the remaining rivit.. if there is a metal and plastic ring left on the glass it will just snap off after the rivit is out of the way.. Just be careful not to break it..
weel you can but it is not the right way .. it takes a special rivit to go back in..If you have a autoglass shop clse to you maybe you can get it all put together then take it there for them to put the rivits in.. If not just be careful with the bolts going back in do not over tighten them..
I definately read a post on another site where a guy replaced his window glass... he used bolts. As the guy above said, don't over tighten it if you decide to use bolts. On my firebird the window has rivets in three places.
I cut the rivets off with a dremel and a cutting disc.. you might be able to drill them out but you'll need a pretty decent drill bit.. a regular one will take you days.
You'll probably want help if you decide to remove those rivets.. someone will need to be holding that glass for you.. both when you remove and reinstall the new piece.

I just got my window replaced and now I have a ton of wind noise. I tried adjusting it myself. I raised it in the front and back as high as the adjusting things would let me and I still get noise. Any advice?
