Use lots of masking tape over the edges and take your time... I do them after glass, so no difference if it's all together otherwise or not.

Way easier if you go inside the door, lower the bottom stop for the window, and drop the window as low as you can. Ditto the masking tape.

I like topside's idea...much more room without the glass in the way.

Go inside the door and figure how to lower the window further for better access not only for installing but also for removing

You'll have to lower the glass down past them, otherwise there won't be any room for you to pull or put back on... I figured that was a given laugh2
