Remove the inner door panel exposing the inside. Either crank the window down or use the button to access the track holding the glass. There should be a few screws along the track (maybe) holding the glass in place. Clean out the track, adhesive is normally used there. Insert the new glass. Move the window all the way up to make sure it is position correctly in the track to completely close the window. Adjust side to side to align. When correct mark window at track with marks a lot and move down. Position window with marks and place adhesive in track.

If it is a rivet, you'll have to drill it out . Then use a small screw with new to pinch the window in place.
