Replacing rear side window

[ekvals]

Hi.

My rear side window was shattered the other day by a flying rock..

I got a new from the dealer, 250 bucks, and is planning to replace it my self.


Anyone seen a guide how to proceed they would like to share.?

Any other good tip will be appreciated..

Thanks.

Now im a premium member..



Hmmm.. It seemes like a bit of work that.. And it would be typical if some of the clip ons would break during the operation..

I think maybe im going to leave this one for the shop.
