    Targa Window installation (73)

    HI

    I have read conflicting posts on if the window frame should go in before or after the glass. My gut tells me before the glass?

    Anyone know if the coupe install which has the frame last is the same for a targa?

    I've removed the frame and reinstalled without removing the glass, so you can probably install the glass first.

    I assume you're talking about installing the window glass in the door. Since you have to be able to slide the glass fore and aft on the lift arms to install the window, the window frame (or vent frame on a targa) would be in the way of doing this. Therefore the frames go in after the glass.
