Need To Replace Passenger Side Front Window

Can someone point me to a DIY or help out?

Some fool tried to break into my car tonight and ended up shattering the friggin' window. I'd appreciate the assistance. Thanks!

Looks like a couple of screws and door panel comes off then there's retaining clips that hold the window in. Thanks.

What are the torque values for the window clips? Seems like it references some other page. Thanks.

Keep in mind everything I send is for a Pre-LCI

I got the window installed today and it was pretty easy after....

1. Cleaning a billion bits of broken glass out of the crevices
2. Getting past the learning curve and busting three panel clips

Thanks for the help Gee_115!
