Hi, removed my door glass as had to fix mechanism for window. All sorted on the mechanism, however can I get the glass back in... As not wishing to break the glass and much swearing I am reaching out as for help and tips please.

I'm assuming you still have the metal fittings along the bottom of the glass and just unbolted that from the regulator.
You just post the glass into the door nose down and rotate it backwards as it goes in.

I have recently just refitted my windows and it feels like they will never fit. Just keep slightly changing the angle of entry and make sure you get the glass into the rear guide. It is a tough piece of glass, you will do well to break it but it should slip in easily at the right angle.

Thanks guys, after hour yesterday of turning air blue, I stopped...

However you both confirmed I was doing it right and after having a go again tonight it went in 🙂

After this success I stopped tonight and will delay the challenge of fitting the trim panel later... but will be fitted with wing nuts.
