I finally got around to getting a new pane of glass for the sliding rear window, I can barely see out of the plexi anymore. At the wrecker, I just Bent the metal channel enough to pop the window out. My question now is how do I install the new one? I'm imagining there is a way to do it without damaging the channel, anyone done it before?

 

I insert a heavy string into the rubber channel leaving about a foot of tail overlapping at the top. Then while me and a buddy apply pressure to the window I slowly pull the string straight out from the joint running down both sides so it brings the gasket out with it and the window drops into the channel.

 

the only way i can think is to remove the unit
