Darrel,

I am not sure if this is the answer you require, but after performing that 
task about a month ago I can say is that the metal bar should be attached to 
the glass first to insure it is in the correct location then you can then 
remove the 7 bolts that connect the window hardware and then slide the glass 
in from above. Also loosen the bolts that hold the window guides. It is best 
to have some help in attaching the window hardware to the metal window guide. 
If I remember correctly, I slid on the rear most part of the hardware to the 
guide then the front. The rest is just aligning the window with the hardware 
attachments and then tightening the glass guides to insure proper movement up 
and down.

Now, my glass already had the metal guide bar attached. I am sure someone has 
the measurements of where to place the bar. Just remember to orientate the bar 
so the guide groves are facing inward.
