It comes with 4ft so you should only need 4ft. I'll let Scott comment. I will be doing my new glass next week.

Where did you get that really long drill bit? Is it a drill bit on some kind of extension?

Looking at Q's posting history, he last posted way back in 2017 although it also shows he was here looking in May 2 at 10 am. I for one miss his expertise and technical knowledge. I particularly enjoyed his "Saturday Morning Garage" videos. The man is a wealth of knowledge.

I have never had to remove them to get the windows out. I have taken PW and manual out. Ford never makes the assembly difficult on the line. If I remember right there is a wide place at the front of the door and you drop the plastic pieces in there and rotate the window in or out. No need to remove them ever unless you need to replace a broken one. Will try to get some pics.

Is there a reason the drill bit has to be 12" long? Seems like you would be fine drilling it with a standard length bit, but I dont know.

I replaced our 73 Mustang Mach 1's door glass (both sides) a few months ago, and had to deal with the rivets. I dug up and used some bolt-in hardware from some 71 & 72 Mustangs, and used those for the reassembly with new glass. I got our new glass from ECS Automotive Concepts. They were able to etch the correct logo of the glass manufacturer, product code, and date code into the glass, so it looks like factory glass.
I also made some YouTube videos showing how we relaced the glass, to include how we dealt with the rivets when disassembling and removing the old glass, and show how it was all rebuilt using the bolt-in hardware. It was a fun, but tedious, project. And well worth the effort.
The reason I replaced the glass is because over the years the outer sides both got scratched up a bit, too deeply to polish out. So, I ordered new glass.
Here are the links to the videos:

mrgmhale: Great information that you always provide, if you know of anyone looking for Door Glass for a 71-73 Mach 1/Fastback and/or Coupe/Convertible, I have a few OEM Ford Door Glass in Good Condition as well as Manual Door Regulators and Window Guides.
