I don't agree - unless you have the rivet and rivetter for the pivot pin
plus the frame to compress it into place.  A door window is far easier to
reinstall - 3 bolts to release the mechanism once the panel is off, plus
maybe relief of the rear glass channel bolts to allow a bit of sideways
flexibility.

You may manage to fiddle a loop of plastic packing tape on the inner button
of the door lock.  I've got that to work in a practice session.
