I must be using the search function wrong, but I cannot find out how to remove the front window frame, it has the rivets under the frame of the window, do I drill those out? If so how do I put it back on?

Also having a hard time getting the passenger side front fender off? Any helpful suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Open the door and remove the Phillips screws holding the fender to the door post. Everything else is 1/2 wrench or socket. On the front you have it bolted to the inner fender as well as the front headlight bezel area. Door has to be off or open to remove. Also need to lift it slightly.

Are you talking about the 1/4 window in the door? If so, are you trying to remove the whole frame or just the glass? The frame is held on by one large bolt accessible from inside the door panel and 3 or 4 screws along the front edge and top of the outer door window frame. It is kind of a pain to get it out and you may need to remove the door glass and front lower window guide as well.

Winshield frame - drill them out, weld them back

Its much easier to take the whole front clip off, both fenders and grill at same time, then you can get to the bolts that hold the fender and grill together. You will need some help setting it off though.
