I have a 70 Barracuda. I replaced all the window hardware, but can't figure out how to install the lower guides. It looks like they are riveted in. I attached a photo of the guides and the track I'm referring to> Thanks.

Hi, did this rebuild to my challenger. To remove guide grind off the tail of the old guide, tap with punch to remove old guide. Now the new guide has a smaller stem and you will need to drill a hole to accommodate the correct size that the new guide is, just out board of the regulator arm. Drill the new hole about 1/4" to 1/2" away from old hole towards the tip of the regular arm. Insert the new guide in the correct side of the regular arm. If you try to use the old hole the new guide stem will not tighten up as you strike the stem with a medium size hammer. Strike the tail of the new guide against a hard surface such as a bench vice until the stem of the new guide swells to about a quarter of the diameter more than it's original size. I hope this helps you out.

Steve,

Thanks, that really helps. I'm not sure why they don't include instructions.
