i would call a local auto glass repair shop its well worth it cuz if they brake it is covered but if you do you are s.o.l. plus its not that much money at least around me ...like 50 to 60 bucks and they will put it in the new hatch too ...

I would have to agree, I've done pretty much everything on my box except the paint and body work but I don't think I'd touch glasswork.....lol.

That rear glass was $450 installed. How do I know? My wife calls me from work a few weeks back to inform me that, while doing the yardwork at her job, they managed to destroy my window. They replaced it for free but it was a scary experience.

came to the house yesterday to do it... made an appointment to have the windshield replaced and got him to swap the rear one for me... it was easier than i thought, the back one, not the front one, that one looks like a pain in the ass, but the back wasnt bad at all... now, all i have to do is get the damn cf hatch to shut evenly... :evil: it sticks out about less than a half an inch, but it sticks out like a sore thumb too... gonna play around with it when i get off of work...
