Rear glass removal?

[775stepside]

Are all rear glasses on 88-98 Silverado just have the seal around the glass or do they have the glue? I plan on switching my wife's 89 sliding window to just a single glass? I have to pull it so I'm curious I have taken windows out before but I figure the ones with just the seal around it are easier to take off?

Its glued in with eurothane and has to be cut out. You can buy the blade that goes on the end of a sawsall and try it yourself but you have to be careful because the blade will cut through the metal. Easier to call a glass guy out and have them cut it out and put the new one in.

You can try to cut it out with a window knife also but it takes forever and you can scratch the glass if not careful.

Ok thanks I'll figure something out I'll buy a tool to get it out

Will a glass off a 91 pickup fit the same on a 89?

This is the blade for the sawsall, There not really cheap and if you get one use soap and water in a spray bottle or glass cleaner to keep it moving free on the glass when cutting.



glasses are the same from 89-98 as long as its the same body style

How'd it turn out?

I have a '95 2500 that I want to replace my slider with a flat, NON slider. (latch was broke years ago and one side replaced with plexi-glass)
BUT when I started to take it apart, the window frame looks like it would be easier to just find another cab with a flat then to pull that slider frame out lol..
Was trying to be gentile but dang!!!#(*&^$@*#@)

Maybe a heat gun would help?
Did you guys have to pull the interior plastic out?
This is what I purchased. I think it was a good deal. Plus it's tinted already so I won't get sunburn..
