How Long Is Heavy Weight Lifting Restricted Post Heart Stent Replacement?

My husband had a heart attack 4 weeks ago. One artery was 100% blocked. They put a stent in. He has been told not to do any heavy lifting. How long does he have to wait. Our son-in-law owns a glass business, installing windshields. My husband would like to be able to help lift a windshield into a vehicle. That s all he does with the installation process. He was helping before the heart attack.
