How do I remove and replace a front passenger side window?
Low life broke my passenger front window to steal my backpack. I bought a used window. I did a search and can’t find any tutorials on how to replace this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is this something I should just take to a mechanic to do?

I finally found a video on YouTube showing how to remove and replace the front window (in this video they’re replacing the regulator, but in the process, they remove and replace the window)
Once my window comes in today or tomorrow, I’ll attempt this myself. I’ll take pics then post it here for others

To report back. The video shows exactly how it’s done. I didn’t take any pics because the video showed exactly how it’s done. You can just slide the window in at a 30-45 degree angle. I bought my OEM window (already tinted) from eBay for $50
Be careful when you attach the glass back on the clamps that sit on the rail. My clamp fell off. So when the window rolled up and down, the regulator broke.
I bought a used OEM regulator for $30 on eBay but still had to used the rubber pieces from the clamps and a few screws on my original regulator.
it’s an easy DIY. Took me like an hour or two to complete.
