Prior to removing the rivet center pins, it is recommended that a suitable block support be placed between the front door outer panel and the glass bracket to stabilize the glass during rivet removal.

Remove the center pins from the rivets, using a drift. Using a 1/4-inch diameter drill, drill out the remainder of the rivets.

6. Lift up and rotate the front door window glass clockwise, and remove.
