Window glass channel

Fitted a new regulator this afternoon in the discovery 1 and I'm stumped on getting the glass into the new channel and rubber it just doesn't want to know
Is it a case of removing the window frame somehow and taking the glass out to refit the channel or is there a trick to getting it in while still in the door

Cheers

my new regulator comes tomorrow as the old one had teeth missing so window wouldn't go up wonder if ill have the same problem...

maybe a little lubricant on the channel may help it slide in? id imagine you can do it whilst in the door.

Hi bud , Iv been trying to ease it in with lube like a gentleman but it's being stubborn as arseholes
Iv also tryed using the motors power to push it all together but it's not working yet , I'll go fetch the BIG hammer soon

Iv Cut and used 3 strips of the excess rubber instead of the whole length and it's fitted into the channel nicely for now all working as it should , fingers crossed I can put the door card back on in a couple of days once I know it's sorted for good

I've seen this done in the garage when I needed mine doing...... basically they took the window out turned it upside down and rested it on a rubber mat..... then they applied lube on the rubber channel and placed it at the bottom of the window (still upside down)

Then they tapped it into place using a rubber mallet

The garage did mention that they had broke windows doing it this way but if your gentle it works well

I accept no responsibility if this method does not work or if you break your window

if you lube rubber strip with washing up liquid etc and place a suitable block of wood under channel glass can be knocked in from the top with rubber mallet working from one end to the other
