Rear Vent window replacement help.

[400DollarPhil]

I have had my darn CB for near a week and someone has ruined my fun and tried to break into it. thankfully my alarm system deterred them from stealing anything or causing any further damage. what they DID do was break my passenger side vent window. surprisingly enough i acquired a replacement from a local dude who is an enthusiast, but i can not seem to figure out how to install it.

TL;DR How do i go about replacing my rear vent window? (pictured with vinyl over the break.)

thanks in advance guys.

I haven't changed one of those in awhile but I think you move the ruber trim around the window and there is some screws you take of to move the black bar that holds the window on place.

hmmm, i think you are supposed to remove the weather strip, interior door panel. ill find out in detail and let you know

thanks! I'll go take a look. I just cant bring myself to pay a window guy 50 bucks to throw it in. I think i will be stubbon and justs rock the vinyl until i can figure out how to throw the new one in.

Thanks gavish. i think i will go outside now and just rip it apart until i figure it out. that is the usual method to my madness.

i didnt get around to tearing into it today, it was the first non-rainy day in a while, and when you live in the pacific northwest you pack as much into a sunny day as you can because they are few and far between. ahahhaha. Tomorrow though, tomorrow.

Be careful when installing these as they are tricky and if no installed correctly they can leak. I used to be a claims adjuster and I asked our glass company which glass is the most expensive to replace it is always the smaller windows in a car which is the first thing everyone busts they also said it is the toughest one to install.

i am not quite sure why people go for that small window when they break into a car just to nab a stereo. Do they think they are doing you a favor by picking the smallest piece of glass to break? i would have rather had my driver side door glass busted, at least that would FORCE me to open up the door panel and install my replacement window motor that i have been putting off. hahaha.

I have tore into it pretty deep and i am to the point where i just NEED it in, so i went down to a local glass shop and shot the breeze with the installer for about 45 min and he is coming over when he gets of work to do a "cash sidejob". i figure that thirty bucks will save me a lot more hassle and keep me leak free! whaddaya gunna do.

Agree, bust something I can replace easily and if it is tinted it doesn't leave a mess all over my car either.

$30 isn't bad at all.
