Window help! 🙏
So I have myself a little Nu-Relics power window conversion in progress. Got the first regulator installed and all I have to do is get the damn window glass assembly onto those stupid rollers, Already pulled out all my hair and ran out of swear words too. Anybody know what the trick is?

Is your similar to this one? If not, post a picture of your new mechanism.
After removing the old mechanism, first hold the window up with tape, or (as he did) jam something into the channel so it can't come down. His trick is to install the rollers into the track first, then bolt the mechanism to the door.

Thanks for your reply, Bob. That video gives some pretty good advice on wiring, reversing polarity, etc. It didn’t seem to address my issue. More background.....
When I started this project, I saw all the other things like surface rust that needed to be addressed “while I was there.” 53 years of untouched stuff. So I took out all hardware except for the door handle and lock. Dealt with the rust. Rebuilt the vent window with new weatherstrip, etc. (Boy, that was fun.)
Did ALL that and can’t get the glass in!

The best link I’ve found on installation (different brand) is at this link.......
And the stage I’m at is seen in the attached screen shot. In the video you can see that he starts to run into trouble. With the magic of video editing it all magically comes together. The glass runs into the division bar of the vent window is one problem in particular.

It has 98 pages on the door assemblies alone. It may be free on the internet somewhere.
I'm out of time right now, and my info may not apply to your car. Share the year and model and I'm sure someone will be along to help. I'll check back.

69 Ragtop: It’s a 67 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. I have the Chassis Manual and Body Manual for that year. Yes, there are a million pages about the doors. I’ve relied on it heavily. I’ll go through it again.
The few videos I’ve seen on YouTube, etc, (isn’t much out there), always show the vent assembly going in first.
So......
1. Does the Vent Window Assembly go in first or second?
2. Put the top rollers in the track first and then the small roller on the idler bar after that? Or the other way around?
It just blows my mind that I could completely rebuild the vent window, but can seem to figure out how to reinstall the main glass assembly.

Sorry, been too long for my feeble brain. Seems like it was just a matter of cranking the regulator to the proper spot to allow the rollers to engage in the slots, but I dont remember the exact position.
