The HJ Shop Manual (covers 1951-52-53 and will also do for Allstates & 1954 model year HJ's) goes into detail with illustrations.

I cannot stress enough the importance of having help when installing the glass. Also, have plenty of soapy water handy to act as a lube. It really does make the job easier.

Best tip I can give you, that the book will not tell you.  DON'T DROP IT!
