Introduction
Fixing the window of your car can seem awfully difficult but with this guide, it can be easily done in under an hour. There are several reasons why you might need this guide. If your car window is loose and dislodges whenever you roll it up or down, you can use this guide to put it back in place. If your previous window was shattered and you want to install a new one, this guide is just for you. (If your previous glass was shattered make sure to clean up any glass shards before installing the new glass.)
Before beginning, be sure to turn off the ignition, place the car in park, and engage the parking brake.
