Re: Driver's door window removal

I vaguely remember some doors having protrusions or retainers the molding has to be separated from after the screws are removed. If that is the case it takes a bit of persuasion and "springing" the glass side edge of the moulding to release it. I think some of the retaining means may be screwed on and others are stamped into the door metal. In some cases the rubber weatherstrip around the vent window lays over the moulding. If that is the case it could have become stuck or too hard to flex enough so the retainers can be cleared.

I don't have a 51-4 sedan to check but perhaps someone has an exposed door they can examine for any kind of retaining means. If something is there perhaps take a photo or two where the moulding fits that might show any retaining means and another one of the inside of the moulding edge that slips over them.
