I have a '31 coupe and I'm struggling with installing the new door glass I just got. I've spent two hours trying to get it in and no luck. I've even managed to crack the corner of the glass already.

I've followed the Les Andrews book on what needs to be taken apart before putting the glass in. What it doesn't help me with is how you need to position the piece of glass to get in the door. I'm putting it in from the top but it's not that easy apparently. It just doesn't slide down into the door. You must have to angle it just right?

Does anybody have any suggestions? I can't imagine it should be this hard

Thanks.
