Have a quick question.

Sometime today, some low life smashed the window on the drivers side sliding door on my parents 1997 Voyager.

I am not sure if it would be easier to replace the window, or replace the entire door. There are several voyagers at the wrecker. I'm sure I can find one that is the same color.

Thoughts? Any tips or tricks?

Thanks in advance!

 

It would be a lot less work to replace the glass.
BODY SIDE/SLIDING DOOR STATIONARY GLASS
The temperature of the vehicle should be at least 21° C (70° F) before removing the stationary quarter/sliding door glass. Butyl sealer becomes more pliable at high temperatures.

REMOVAL
Remove interior trim as necessary to gain access attaching locations on back of glass.
Remove nuts holding stationary glass to fence.
Using razor knife, cut butyl sealer holding glass to fence from between the mounting studs Sliding Door Stationary Glass
Push glass from opening.
INSTALLATION
The stationary glass fence should be cleaned of all old butyl sealer.

Apply a 6 mm (0.25 in.) butyl tape around perimeter of glass assembly encapsulation track. Ensure that the butyl tape is wrapped around the mounting studs.
Place the glass into the opening and insert mounting studs through holes in fence.

Perfect! Thank you very much!
