Follow the sticky post at the top of this 66-67 Charger page. And the manual, follow it religiously. Be patient.

There are several comprehensive posts on quarter windows right here on this site. A little searching and you'll find more info than you'll ever want to know about quarter windows.
 
All I know is those quarter windows wipped my butt getting them out, at least 1-1/2 hours. Dred them going back in. Manual is not very explicit.

They whipped my butt putting them back in. five hours on the passenger side and three hours on the drivers side. They would have fired me and my help if we had been working on the factory line. That must have been a dreaded position back in 1966 ---- putting in quarter windows.

I feel they must have had a special tool to assemble the rollers once the glass was in position.
That is the biggest problem.
Squeezing them on.

Dad worked at Fisher Body in the fifties and said some of those guys could do their operation in their sleep. He failed on a couple things when he first went to work there. He was and still is talented (@91) made supervision 2nd year at 26 years of age, 26 man crew. The stories he told, wish I could have been there. Got tired of being layed off so moved back to NC in 58

I have the books at work in regards to the tools and updates on what was used .

I pretty sure I have most from the late 50s into the early 70s. Ill scoop the ones of interest for here.

My Son is a now a Master Mechanic, graduate of the NASCAR Institute in NC
When he first came home from school he had a whole lot of Confidence but little experience
When we were working on my Charger, He insisted He needed to take the rear windows out and fix them (They were hard to roll up)
I told him it was something he didn't want to mess with, but he didn't listen and started to take them apart
It was at that time I took a superior attitude and a fresh cup of coffee waiting to watch the show
Imagine my surprise when he had the window out in about 40 minutes
Here I was figuring he would never do it and he made it look easy
It was that day I knew he had surpassed me

Taking it out was fairly easy. How long did it take for him to re-install them?
 
Make sure you time him from start to finish when he puts them back in and adjusted. Sure like to know.

And also make sure he doesn't see the sticky thread.
No, I think that might constitute cruel and unusual parenting.:)

He had no problem getting them back other than the first one he had the wrong regulator
He realized very quickly that he had swapped left and right

He makes everything look so easy at times
As I told him, better lucky than good
I am jealous lol
 
The windows on my coronet are going to get new roof line window gaskets. I will need to adjust one side or both as they are a little stiff rolling up. Should I use something to dissolve the old grease on the window mechanisms and re lube? I figure that’s why they don’t easily roll up -hardened old grease
