Default New windshield,will it fit in the back of the coupe?

I'm sure rear seat would need to be folded down....
Don't want to rent a van for a 15 mile trip.
Just wondering.

It'll be a very tight fit. The windshield without packaging is 57" wide and with the drivers seat in my normal driving position, I have 52" of space. So you'd need to be super short with the seat scooted all the way forward and hope the new glass doesn't come in super thick packaging for it to fit with the back seats down.

Now to call my buddy with a pick-up truck. Thanks.

Well the windshield that was delivered has the antena in the windshield. On a coupe, is it useful for anything? Just cut off the interior wire?
Send it back to the dealer?

Also, does anybody know if the rear hatch glass is laminated or tempered?

Thanks,

Rear hatch glass is tempered.

Does anyone know about a source to replace the rubber seal around the rear window of a 93 coupe?

Do you mean the small rear quarter window, or do you mean the large rear hatch?

The seal for the rear hatch is available from several sources, including the dealer.

The seal for the quarter window is a bit more complicated, as the window is glued in place.

The rear hatch window is what I need. The wiper has quit working as well, is there any easy way to seal it off if I remove it?
