Start with a Serial Number, then at least we know what we're looking at. More than 10 variants of 316, need to get the right one.

I broke the window on my 303 Cat once ,looked at for 6 months thinking what an ugly job it was . Finally i ordered new glass from Finning took it to my local Glass guy and he painlessly installed it Right for around 100.00$ Glass is like tires. Tiremen do tires and Glaziers do glass . We run equipment.

IIRC...
Remove the bottom felt in the tracks. Using hook and screwdriver, remove the plastic, inverted u-channel.
Now glass can drop down, and tilt out at the top.

Just get a glass shop to install it and save yourself the hassle.

If it’s like a k dozer there will be two little guides that push and and let the track come out at heymccall said

I didn't post the parts image because it really doesn't help, as it doesn't show the plastic spacer strip.
I had to replace one on a 324DL, and even my dealer found nothing. I do know, for certain, that you do NOT remove the frame from the door.

The glass is ordered. Going to a glass shop is not feasible.
There's no plastic track it's just a thin rubber layer in a steel track which appears to be all 1 piece. I wish I could get something out of that image Nige but I can't pick out anything useful unfortunately.

I'm telling you that the bottom felt comes out, then an inverted U channel is in there. See them slots in the felt. They are duplicated in the inverted, removable, channel. If they're not at the bottom, they're on the top.

I stand corrected...the 324D I did isn't in this serial number list
