Dodge Repair: How do I Remove & Reinstall Drivers Window Glass, connector plates, grand caravan


Question
98 Grand Caravan

How do I Remove and Reinstall Driver's Window Glass ?

The bottom window connectors have rusted off, so I have to Replace the window,

OR, Is it practical to get new bottom window connectors ?

Thanks, Bob

Answer
Since your question states that the connecters have rusted off the window I'll assume that you already have the door trim panel off. The window is held to the regulator track by horseshoe shaped clips that latch on to pins that are glued to the bottom of the window. Disengage the clips and then you will be able to lift the window out of the door frame. That you also asked if it would be better to get new connectors has me questioning what component has failed. The window connector plates or the regulator. You may be able to reglue the connector plates back on to the window with a good epoxy. But if the regulator has broken you'll eed to replace it as there is no real way to repair it.
