By far the cheapest window to break in a 944. I would feel guilty charging more than $100 to replace that window.
Really? I have to admit, I've never changed that window on a 944/951, you make it sound as easy as a 911 rear 1/4 window ( which is a piece of cake to replace ). In most other cases, that window is the most expensive to break on the car.

its pretty easy - which is good because you have to remove it to get to the rear speakers! The vinyl cover on the interior rear quarter panel goes over the metal that the rubber window gasket covers.

Chris you might need to go to a mechanic as well. Have you been installing rear quarter glass without the metal trim?

to be fair I should add that there is a small piece of trim that fits into the rubber - but it comes out with the rubber trim and you do not have to remove it or reinstall it separately.

I remember a "rehabilitated" former Porsche car thief bragging in my shop that that the 70's and 80's 911s were the easiest cars to steal. He used to cut the seal of the passenger 1/4 window with a box cutter, pry the window out, and get into the car...and you know the rest.
