Default Re: Convt and coupe difference.

All right! I posted this thread a while back and apparently, noone had any info pertaining to the issue.

So, I get a new convertible side glass, remove the coupe glass from the door, install the new glass (very expensive mind you), only snug the two bolts (front bolt is to a "clamp" and rear bolt is through the glass and brackets), I get up and walk over to my tool cart, lay down my ratchet, and BANG!
I swing around expecting a masked gunman, but only find my new glass ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I end up with a major backache from the quick ninja like move I made when it happened, the hurt in my wallet, and now the dealership is trying to get one from Michigan (still at a hefty price). I had only snugged the two bolts, the key was out, the window raised into position to gain access to the two bolts, no cycling of the regulator, door was open the whole time, and there was noone else around but me (and I have yet to find any bullet holes in my garage walls).


So here we go again. Needless to say, I have looked an looked for anything that may have put the glass under stress, I cannot find anything or any reason why it happened, and I am deathly afraid to install the next glass when it comes in.

Any suggestions, or ideas?
Better yet, does anyone have a diagram of the assembly (coupe and/or convertible) that may show any differences?
Any ideas and information will be greatly appreciated, especially considering the investment here.
