its cold here in colorado and my rear window cracked on me. im getting a new rear window on thurs, but i need to know how to do it right. i need the shop manual instructions on just replacing the rear window and keeping the old top- YEAR 2000
pages 20-38. IF THESE ARE RIGHT
any help would be great. THANKS!!!

 

Don't you need to replace the whole top?

I didn't think that you could just replace the window.

Am planning on replacing my plastic window this weekend. So far, I "think" i'm pretty well prepared. I've read the instructions posted previously and have everything out of the car (rear tray, seats, glove box etc.). The only thing I do nt have out yet is the roll hoops. How necessary is it to take these out? If it is REALLY mandatory, does anyone have advice on quickest method???
I see there are several bolts in front and rought 3-4 more behind and under plastic covering the hoops themselves. Is this it, or are there any more??? I have been pretty successfull in taking everything else out (w/out any instructions) and want to keepup my efficiency.
Any help would be GREAT.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions/ things to look out for when doing a rear window replacement, please help a brother out.
