1959 el camino vent window seals1/19/2024 The window sashes you need are only found in El Caminos, 2-door station wagons and 2-door sedans. The framed window doors are a little different but it sounds like you got it apart. Just snug these bolts a little more than finger tight and be sure to reuse the rubber washers that fit inside the holes in the glass that keep the bolt shafts from rubbing against the raw glass.ĭidn't realize this was an El Camino. When reinstalling the door glass, do NOT overtighten the four bolts that hold the glass to the mechanism or you will break the glass. Unless you REALLY need to remove the lower window support and window mechanism, I suggest you just leave them in the door. Removing one or both of those weather strips before you remove the glass make getting the glass out a lot easier.Īt this point you can remove the glass support part of the mechanism by sliding it forward off the rollers and then out the top and then you can remove the window mechanism and door latch mechanisms by removing their bolts and sliding them out the holes provided in the inner panel of the door. If the weatherstrips at the top of the door are still there you will have to pull hard to get the frame to pull through those. Then, disconnect the glass frame from the window mechanism support (there should be four bolts that go through the glass, you will have to raise and lower the glass to get at them all) and lift the door glass and frame out of the door. At the end you will need to turn the assembly 90 degress to get the lower adjuster bolt of of the slot at the top of the door. Using a lifting tilting motion, lift the wing window frame out of the door. Then, remove the lower glass stop at the base of the door glass and lower it as far as it will go. Don't miss the screw in the lower leading edge corner. Disconnect all the bolts and screws holding the wing window in. The door glass is a lot easier to remove if you remove the wing windows first.
