TOyota Camry 1996 - Vent Glass

[firdaus]

I have a TOYOTA Camry 1996 model and someone broke into my car by breaking the Drivers side Vent Glass on the rear side door.
I am planning to buy a part from the TOYOTA showroom but do not want to pay the exhorbitant service charge.
Does nayone know of a Self Help or some internet resource that would guide me in the installation of the glass.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Not all these steps may be necessary to remove rear quarter glass.

Remove 4 clips on sides of door panel
Remove two screws - one is behind plastic screw cap
Pry off door trim with taped screwdriver
Pull trim upward to remove - disconnect electrical connector.
Remove Inside Door Handle - Disconnect two links - Remove three screws
Remove Service Hole Cover - (To align door glass, substitute bolt with washer for centering bolt)
Remove Door Glass Run - Pull upward
Remove Rear Door Belt Molding - Pry out clips from edge of weatherstrip and remove molding
Remove Door Cushion
Remove Door Glass Division Bar
Remove Door Glass - Insert shop rag inside panel to prevent scratching glass
Remove Quarter Window Glass with Weatherstrip - Remove by pulling forward.

Assembly is reverse of disassembly

Instead of a dealer, have you considered an auto glass shop. They are much cheaper - both parts and labor.
