I bought replacement glass for my hatchback, its the right rear quarter, and its off a parts car, I don't know how to remove the glass without breaking it, someone must have done this before. I really need help. ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Well, because of the contour of the window wrapping around I'm not sure if you're going to have much luck getting the glass outta there in 1 piece. Just be gentle with it and find a windshield removal tool, I think they're only about $20 if I remember correctly. If you cant fint the tool then use a piece of small cable like piano string and run it through from the outside of the glass in (you may need to drill a small hole) and then just work it around the glass and gently pry it out. Good luck.............

use the piano string or pay a professional to do it. A local shop charges 70 bucks for a window removal and installation of a new window in my neck of the woods. That's with them coming out to the car. Call around some body shops and glass installers.

yeah, I agree, I'm a mechanic and I'd still pay somebody else to do it unless I was in a real bind ( which is pretty much all the time lol )
