I recently replaced mine in my elco. I think the procedure is similar. I still have all the trim off. I can take some pictures tonight when I get home. See if any of it helps.

yes they are thanks, the biggest mistake I made was not bagging everything taken off the car. I now know what those little black rubber bricks are at the foot of the glass.

I take it you changed to hex head screws to hold those other brackets on? Does anybody have pics of the correct OEM screws to use?

Yes, I have a large container of all the bolts/screws etc taken off when stripping the Malibu...dumb move on my part to not document where things came from....

It was all held down with little black pan head sheet metal screws. Couldn't find mine so used those.

yes please, anything that might help me figure this stuff out.....also, any chance of a close up of the drawing top rh side of that page you posted up above?

just found this too....looks like quarter glass is a pain for most who take them out - https://gbodyforum.com/threads/rear-quarter-glass.69378/
I did finally look at the other years and found nothing else. I did enlarged that section like you asked plus posting the drawing of the drip molding.
