  • 1

    We’ll start with the screw down inside the door handle. There should be a small plastic cover hiding the screw here but they are missing on this car. A small flathead screwdriver will pop them right out of the way.

  • 2

    Next is the screw behind the door handle - take your flathead and gently pry the handle up to pop it out.

  • 3

    Disconnect the electrical connector on the window switch.

  • 4

    Move down to the bottom of the door and remove two Phillips screws.

  • 5

    Once those are out, we can pop the door panel free of the plastic clips with a trim tool, Phillips screwdriver or a swift pull on the panel itself, whatever suits you best.

  • 6

    With the inner panel loose, take your flathead screwdriver to unclip the door latch lever and pop it free.

  • 7

    Once that’s done set the panel aside and move to the inner door skin.

  • 8

    If the plastic vapor barrier is good enough shape and it’s warm enough outside, you may be able to use a razor to cut barrier away along the outer edge and save it. In this case however, the plastic had become so brittle that even the slightest touch would cause it to crumble away. Oh well, if there’s no saving it don’t sweat it. Remove it and let’s move on.

  • 9

    With this window, we don’t need power to access the bolts holding the window in place. If you do need power, EricTheCarGuy has a great tip on how to make create power on the yard (see below for video).

  • 10

    Next, we remove the 3 10 mm bolts here that hold the track in place.

  • 11

    Once that’s loose, we can lower the window down to get access to the 2 bolts that secure it to the bracket.

  • 12

    Remove the lower seal by simply prying it up and pulling it away from the door. Pull the rest of the window seal away from the door the same way.

  • 13

    Finally, unclip the outer trim piece to create a little more clearance, and then we can slip the window out of the door.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hey, I'm Eric from Velocity Labs. We're going to be doing a quick DIY and Drive tutorial with Pull-A-Part Used Auto Parts. We're going to be pulling the window out of this 2004 Dodge Stratus. Now, pulling the door glass out of a car is typically a fairly easy job, and getting a window from a Pull-A-Part salvage yard can save some big cash over buying new.

On this Stratus, we'll start with a screw down inside the door handle. There should be a small plastic cover hiding the screw here, but they're missing on this car. A small Flathead screwdriver will pop them right out of the way. Next, is the screw behind the door handle. Now, take a flat head gently pry the handle up to pop it out. There's an electrical connector on the window switch to disconnect as well. Now move down to the bottom of the door, and there are two more Philip screws here to remove. Once those are out, we can pop the door panel free of the plastic clips with a trim tool, Philip screwdriver, or swift pull on the panel itself, whatever suits you best. With the inner panel loose, take a Flathead screwdriver to unclip the door latch lever and pop it free. Once that's done, set the panel aside and move to the inner door skin.

Now if the plastic vapor barrier is in good enough shape and it's warm enough outside, you may be able to use a razor to cut the barrier away along the outer edge to save it. In this case however, the plastic had become so brittle that even the slightest touch would cause it to crumble away. Oh well, if there's no saving it, don't sweat it. Just remove it, and let's move on. With this particular window, we're lucky enough that we don't need power to access the bolts holding the window in place. But if you do need power Eric The Car Guy has you covered with this yard hack in his video.

Next, we remove the three that hold the track in place. Once that's loose, we can lower the window down to get access to the two bolts that secure it to the bracket. Now, remove the lower seal by simply prying it up and pulling it away from the door. Pull the rest of the window seal away from the door the same way. The last thing we need to do is unclip the outer trim piece to create a little more clearance, and then we can slip the window out of the door.
