Door Glass - 4/11/2008 2:39:31 PM    Shelbytruck   Posts: 10 Joined: 4/11/2008 Status: offline Does anyone here know how to get the belt moulding (Haynes' manual spelling) off the doors?  The Haynes manual says to roll down the window, then remove the screws.  Rolling the window down only exposes two of the five screws.  The other three are blocked by the glass, which is too close to the screws to allow the use of an angled driver. Also, how do you get the glass out of the "run channel"?  The manual says to use special tool so-and-so, which is no longer available.  Can I use a plastic bondo spreader to pry the sliders out of the track?  Actually, the top rear slider pops out of the track when I roll the window up. Thanks in advance. Larry Post #: 1

I hope it helps Service and Repair DOOR GLASS REMOVAL Remove the door trim panel (or, if applicable, the access panel), the waterdam and the noise insulator. Open the window glass (move the glass down into the door).

RE: Door Glass - 4/13/2008 2:46:06 PM    Shelbytruck   Posts: 10 Joined: 4/11/2008 Status: offline I found it at Parts.com http://www.parts.com/oemcatalog/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=2&chapter=&Sectionids=0,3263&groupid=2724&subgroupid=3472&componentid=0&makeid=8&model=Dakota&year=1990&graphicID=TF87110&callout=3&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=2 for less than $60 a side.  It's hard to find anything on this site, so I pasted the whole link to the page that has the belt molding.  i got the run channel from Car Parts Wholesale http://cpwstore.carpartswholesale.com/catalog/?N=10110+1607+4294966972+11921+7950 .  $35 a side seemed pretty reasonable.
