Dumbass needs help replacing a window

I just dont get this lol....Im replacing my passenger side window on a 90 with power windows. My first problem is my motor is dead for my window, but I aleviated that my unscrewing it. Now I cant figure out how to get the new window into the groove. Ive tried tilting it a bit but it keeps getting wedged.

there are 2 10mm nuts that hold the window to the track. ratchet wrenches come in very handy for this. you can hook the battery directly up to the window motor to raise / lower it. its definitely a bitch haha, but its do-able.

Does the window need to be down? up? in the middle? And did I have it right? just wiggle it in conkeywompus?

take the 2 nuts off the track, push the track out of the 2 holes, pull it out.
