Hey guys, need some suggestions/tips on how to install the quarter panel window on the drivers side cargo section. I got the glass and seal in today and i'm a bit confused as to how i'm supposed to get it in there. I could get the seal in place pretty easily if I remove it from the window but I am not sure if I can get the window into the seal after that. Do you guys recommend a sealer between the seal and the body panel? Here's a picture of the window I am trying to put in... Thanks in advance for any help!

 

The hard part is peeling back the seal so you can insert the glass when the seal is installed in the body. Try putting a length of string or flexible wire into the glass-channel of the seal (seal installed on body), then set one edge of the glass in the seal. As you pull the string it will cause the lip of the seal to lift and at the same time you can push the glass into place.
Or you can call a glass company, they might get you $35 for the labor and it will take them about 10 minutes.

 

You install the seal on the glass, then install the two at the same time in to the body. I took a bunch of photos from the last one I did. Will try to post tomorrow.

 

Awesome thank you AC! I will try the first method and then the second see what happens. Pics might help but I get the general idea. Just need to mess around with it

 

As far as using some sort of sealant between the seal and the body would you guys recommend anything? Or does the force of the glass against the seal keep water from coming in?

 

No sealant.

 

Installed the glass today using the first method mentioned. It was easier to place the seal in then wedge the top left corner in first and by using a flathead screw driver I was able to pull the lip around the edge and the window slowly slid itself into position. Now I need to match the tint that's on this new window haha Thanks for your help guys!
