Jakob, we have a local guy who does mobile work, will come to you and do the window there, or you can take it to his shop, perhaps you have someone same in your area? Please lose the chain and get a strap before that chain hurts you.

they are very easy to put in and you can save some cash.. You can get the glass from a upull it super cheap or from any local glass company.
The gasket isnt reusable on them and you will have to buy a new one. I got mine online for about $50 + $10 for a proper tube of silicone adhesive and $5 for some easy release tape to hold it in place while the silicone set up .

Mine cost me under $90 total and the local glass co here wanted $225 installed.
Was well worth a cpl of hours of razor blade work to save that kinda $.

You can go to the JY and cut one out then re glue it.

$40 with the new window and glue and a little time.

save you some money.

cutting the glue on the window:





clean the window surround to where it is only paint:




then with the hatch in the air (level) place in the new window:






and wait for it to dry:

I got the glass yesterday from LKQ, but I can't seem to find what glue to use?..

What did you use and has it lasted?

It's urethane that "glues" the window in. Save yourself a headache and have the glass installed professionally, should only be about fifty bucks.

Have to admit, I'm heavily leaning that direction..
