I have a question, I don't know if this is the correct forum to post it in and I haven't seen if this question has been answered.
How do I remove and install a rear window? Is it easy?
The real problem is that the defogger strips are not working, well only 2 or 3 of them work so I guess its better off to replace the whole window if its easy for me to do. I could probablly get a window from the junkyard for cheep.
Please help. Thanks guys!

i'm pretty sure you can buy a repair kit to fix the defrost strips, look closely at the ones not working and you should be able to see where they are not connected...

Id try to repair it but then I want it tinted after its fixed. I dont know if the strips will still work or if they will break again.

IS THERE A HOW TO ON "HOW TO CHANGE A BACK WINDSHIELD" or "HOW TO REPAIR THE DEFROST STRIPS" ?
If there is, I can't seem to find it and would appreciate the help.

just go buy the repair kit it can't be too expensive and if it works it beats buying a whole new window... if not then atleast your not out alot of money..

my rear window only cost me about 100 bux, but your probably better off buying the repair kit. As for the removal I would think that because of the epoxy that is used to seal the window in, the only way that it could really be replaced would be if it was broken, I would think.
