broken windows

[whitewaterdude]

welp got into a little wreck last night... broke all the windows on the right side of my 85 sr5. and broke the right side mirror and right tail light.. could you guys point me in the right direction. i live in park city Utah. how hard is it to install the windows?? thanks for the help!! its much needed.

the windows that roll up and down are easy to remove and install at home. just need a phillips screw driver, a flat blade screw driver, and a rag to get all the inner door trim off, then a 10mm socket to get the glass off the lifting mechanism. lift the busted one out, drop the new one in. pretty easy.

i have no idea about the permanently fixed ones though.

ive replaced the rear hatch window and I believe the one on the side closed to the back is the same thing. it is just held in with a rubber seal. you have to use two or three flat screw drives and work carefully around the window and pry the seal out on inside or outside, be careful not to damage the paint, the outside gives you more room on that window. once you have three sides free and two corners free the thing should come out all in one unit. try it with your broken seal or go to the junk yard and try it on the other side so if you break it its not the one you need.

the fixed window in the back door I have no clue on. probably similar, held in by a seal but don't take my work for it. never had to deal with that one.

good luck

It is not that difficult. I like using heavy putty knifes along with the screw drivers. Wrap the tip with electrical tape to protect the paint on the car body. Soapy water helps to install them. Be careful not to put too much pressure on the glass or you might crack your new window.

fixed window in the back door can be taken out easily. I think under the door seal above it there is a retaining screw that releases the metal frame and the window can be angled in.
