The hardest part is getting the window crank off... After that it is a walk in the park.

I beg to differ. The hardest part is aligning the new glass. There is a sticky on Nasty for it. There isn't a sticky for crank removal. I can do that in the dark.

There's a tool used to pull all GM "Jesus clips" that makes it a two second job, and works great. I've owned one since I was a Cadillac mechanic in the late 60's. They sell for about $5 at most auto parts stores.
All the mechanics called them Jesus clips becaue they usually fell on the floor, and someone said, "Jesus, where did that clip go?"
