Rear window removal replacement "port window"

Hey guys, needing to know how to remove the small window in the rear doors. I think some people call it the "port" window.

Anyway, has anyone done replaced or removed them?

If so, any tips or advice for a first-timer?

Remove the port window.

Remove outer seal.
Remove misc screw(s) holding in channel etc at the top of window (inside).
Remove window. Not easy by any means, but doable if you're careful as it's still a tight fit even with the channel loosened.

Mind you, I did this years ago when I replaced my old dried up weatherstriping seals. If you're not replacing the outer seal, then the advice above may be the only way to go.

I'd just pay a glass shop to do it(it really shouldn't cost too much). It is a pain in the *** to do as it is pressured in there pretty damn tight. They are never really meant to be replaced unless they break or have a crack.

It took my fat *** less than 20 minutes to do this job...usually I am the type of person that it takes 10 hours for a 2 hour job..it is an easy DIY...remember to roll the window down before you start though..
