Rear sliding window installation questions

[ORCA]

First off, I tried searching and didn't get exactly what i'm looking for.

 

Anyway, I finally got a replacement rear sliding window from the junkyard and I have no idea how to install it. Has anyone ever installed one of these? Is this the type of thing I should leave to the pros? I already own the window so i'd only be paying for the install.

 

Please point me in the right direction. Thanks :cheers:

I would personally pay the pro's to do it... can't be but so much. I had a real problem when I pulled my rear window, as I planned on trying to sell it, but it broke while trying to remove it. I am not sure what the factory used, but man was it a PITA to remove

$80 to remove your old window and install the new one. make sure your rubber gasket/trim ring is good, and scrape all of the goo off the back of the split rear window frame.

 

if you do it yourself, any parts store worth a lick of salt should be able to get it/have it in stock. when installing, you will need to remove your rear trim panels (and headliner preferably) and clean the crap outta the window frame on the truck and the actuall window, put on the gasket around the edges and goop the crap out of it. take masking tape and tape it in place, and leave it sit for at least a day, preferably 2 to 3, as if you drive the cabin pressure or pressure of a/c or air coming in will blow it out.

 

I've done it both ways and will ALWAYS pay to have it done from now on...it's worth the money.
