Decided to tackle getting the arch on the door to match the body. Believe I've seen it posted before especially about removing window first. The service manual pretty generic on window removal, any words of wisdom out there.
Thanks

Skip,

Quick answer is it takes:
A long 2x4,
A pair of hooks that you can make and
A jack - most people use a little hydraulic - I used a scissor

Search both GMCMI and GMCES archives and you should find the write-ups.

Good Luck.

Matt

. Be very careful when I tried it my lower door hinge bolts were damaging the aluminum door. I wound up elongating the hinge holes in the door and sliding the door in a little.
