Default Rear lexan instal

I am replacing my 6 Cup rear lexan window. I have the new lexan, gasket, and trim piece.

My question is: has anyone glued these in themselves and if so what is the procedure ? I was going to call an auto glass guy if it came to it.

not sure what they use 3m probably makes something. shouldnt be a difficult process maybe a heat gun and a putty knife to get the old one out and then make sure to clean up all the old goo. A glass shop can probably recomend something to use to install the new one with.

You need to use DOW Betaseal 418 and 5202 primer.

andy did you know the rear lexan was warped on purpose? i was told this was a trick of the time to reduce vibration and air flow over the rear window... just so you know ...
