I just did tis on my69, I dont know if they are the same?
Anyway what I did was take the part with the chanels acually off the bracket that holdes it to the body.
Then loosley mount that bracket to the body, then slide the chanel part onto the rollers on the window.
Take that assy. "window & chanel part " and slide it down into position and while holding it up with one hand try and get one bolt into the bracket with the other hand.
Hope tis helps?

thanks, I was doing basically that, aLthough I started it late at night when my patience was not saintly, and I was in without a flash light. I have a friend coming over to lend a set of hands,hopefully another set of hands will help out. What you said doesn't seem like a one man job when taking not scratching paint into consideration.
thanks

Acually I had my wife help me on the first one.(hurt her hand holding it up in a tight place) :mad:
Then I figured out I could rest the rear of the metal part on the wheel house and rotate the hole assy. untill I could align one hole. :D
After you have one bolt in it's easy to get the rest.
