I have a 1996 Toyota pickup with a sliding rear window. I threw a piece of firewood through the slider part this fall. The local glass shop wants $175 to replace that little bitty piece of glass. My son can get me a piece of glass. Can someone tell me how to get the slider out to replace the glass. I just think that $175 is a lot of money for a piece of $20 glass.

BTDT, on my own Toyota truck.

The whole window pops out by you pushing from the inside. Takes about 20 seconds.

Then you take it apart (4 screws) and replace the glass you broke.

Reinstall with two people. Start by wraping a string around the window, and lube up the rubber seal (I use silicone spray). One person holds the glass in place from the back. The other person is inside the truck, and pulls the string. The window just slips in place. It takes longer to read this post than to install the window.

It went so fast and easy for me and my wife that we popped it out and did it again just for fun.

I can tell how to R&R the whole assembly, but not just one portion. No doubt the whole thing has to come out anyhow. If you got comprehensive ins. Let the ins co have it done for you. My comp. pays regardless of how it was broken.

Dan. In addition to the previous post. Use an insulated wire with lots of silicone lube instead of twine. If you are close to the Portland area, It would be easier to show you how to do it than tell you how. E-mail me if I can help. Tim in OR

Not sure if you need to take out the whole window, or just the sliding section?

If you need to take out the whole window, look carefully at the gasket. One side (inside or outside - I really can't remember which side as it's been a while since I've done this) should pry easier than the other. You just tuck the soft side of the gasket in, all the way around the window, then pull the whole window out. You'll need a helper for this.

To reinstall, put a mason line or slightly heavier twine in the slot all the way around the window. It takes some practice. As you're pulling the twine out, the window gasket will seal itself back in place.

Oh, make sure you're doing this in a warm place. Cold gaskets don't cooperate.
