How hard to replace passenger side door glass on 70' Cuda

No having a lot of interior knowledge, how hard is it to replace the door glass on a 1970 Cuda?  Are there any tricks?

ive done my challenger and cuda both are very simple just a little time consuming just take ur time and it will come out with ease remove the rear track completely and disconnect from the front track and regulator then it should just slide up angle it just right and remove the rear part of the glass 1st with the fwd piece slightly down. theres a ruff idea. hope it help im sure others will chime in on it.

remove window felts and upper guides. unbolt mechanism rail from glass.  It comes out with the front rail attached to the glass. Loosen rear rail so it can move around a bit.

When the glass is rolled down almost to the bottom, is the most accesible on unscrewing the 2 screws that hold the glass onto the track.

Bob, 4 SpeedFish and I did both of mine last week.

I used to do them myself along time ago. I was a little rusty this time. Was like re-learning spanish again I took in H.S. It really helps if you have somebody there as a second set of eyes.

Thanks for all the advice.  Once I order the glass I will give it a try.   :cheers:
