Ned: You do not need to remove the vent window in order to remove the
rollup window. Remove the rubber block at the top of the track, remove one
of the bolts in the stop bracket, loosen the other and move the bracket out
of the way, crank the window up until the regulator arm disengages from the
track on the lower frame piece and lift the window out. As usual, reverse
procedure for re-installation.
