You need to do it by putting the rear in with the front tilted down and outside of it;s rail, then finnangle it nose down until you can pop it into the front rail and than level it horizontally.

Taint fun, I'll tell you that.

I had to loosen the window regulator and shift it around in order to get the window in the tracks and scissor arm rollers in the lower rail on the bottom of the glass.

Good luck.

Oh sorry. Took the cold shower to mean something else.

Remembering a bit. The rear most rail is removable, pop that puppy off it allows you to tilt the window more.

Try loosening it first.

Once you figure it out it's quick. I remember replacing one of those buttons in 20 minutes once.
