Quote a while ago I unfortunately had to smash my passenger window in order to gain access to the car after the door automatically locked me out with the keys in the ignition and it running on a fast idle.
I've struggled to find anyone local who has the skills and experience to fit the replacement which recently arrived from Claremont Corvette (thanks for the quick shipping!)
So it looks like I'm going to have to do it myself. I have a Haynes and the factory manual for my '81 model but all of them assume I'm replacing an intact window that's in the fully up position, not one where it's on pieces inside the door....
How hard is this for an amateur who's never done this before? What are my chances of success or should I leave it to a classic car repairer who will have no experience of C3s?
I'm in Wiltshire near Swindon.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
