Replacing EG coupe driver glass
Just picked up a 93 EG coupe as a build, and today I was wanting to see how both windows cranked. (its cold here so it slipped my mind to check before I bought it). Well I started to roll the driver side down and it was pretty stiff rolling down, so I was like great, guess I need a new regulator. It got about halfway down and it wouldn't go down anymore. So I started to roll it back up (it was easier rolling back up, didn't really give any pressure) and about halfway up the glass just shatters in my face. Luckily no glass got in my eye or anything, but now I have a shattered drivers window that needs replacing.
I tried finding a how-to on here about fixing it but had no luck. Anyone know the difficulty on replacing this, or have a link that can show me the steps? Thanks.
Good thing is the window was tinted (I'm stripping the tint) so the shattered glass was all held together for the most part, and I don't have to pull the tint off that window now.

Re: (Neekstar)
gosh, this is a bit difficult to explain without pics. I just did this on my eg before I painted it because I replaced a door. Driver side even haha.
get your inner door stripped of the door panel and plastic sheet covering the door. grab your window roll handle, place it on and roll the window all the way down. start rolling it up and you can see the 10mm bolts that held the window to the track. They should be white plastic tabs connected to the glass. And you pretty much do that till you get all the bolts all the way across the track. Some of the bolts will have to be undone through a tiny hole on the door. The new window will drop down the top from the inside of the door. When bolting the window up to the track, you'll need to remove a 10mm on either the front or rear side guide/track in order to slip the window in.
I'm sure this will confuse you guys but its the best way I can describe it without pics.
good luck
