Rear Window replacement

[gregy]

Does anyone know where I can find a DIY on replacing the rear window (the one that rolls down). I am not sure if this needs to be removed when you replace the regulator. I had someone break my window so I need to replace it. Thanks.

Check out the how to article on top of the homepage for the window diy
You still need to remove door panel and roll down the regulator then insert the glass from the top of the door then put the bult and clips on ..

I can say for sure that it's not difficult at all to replace, 1st of all
someone had just broken my driver's door glass to steal a (GPS & a little
clock/temperature control unit). At first, it was such complicated job for me,
I wouldn't never intended to perform something like that, because I thought
it was for professional instances to handle.

But my wife was trying to save us some money by telling me that I have done more
than that, so why can I just try it to see what I can do. And that's when I went to search on youtube about installing a broken glass window and found out how
it was something easy to do. But nothing can compare on that day when I definitely put my hands on it to install it, to find out how easy it was to replace a window glass, I was stunned in a way where I could have my 2years old daughter do it for me. However, I dont even disconnect my battery or disconnect my airbag nothing, I just remove the key from the ignition and put it back in everytime I need to lower my glass elevator for a better view and adjustment. some shop wants: $260 used for the glass alone, another one wants: $462 for the glass, the cheapest one I found was: $220 all together including instalation, it was not bad. But with ebay $120+free shipping and I installed it myselfcan't go wrong with that.

Very easy brother!!!
