Ive looked for threads where ppl with CF hatches swapped the rear glass etc and have found none.. which makes me wonder if its just too hard or no one took pictures during the process. Im curious as to what tools they might have used etc.. i plan on trying mine next weekend once my new moldings and clips come in.. i already have the window seal.

Im debating on whether to use a small steel cable inserted between the two and just pull it around to break the seal from the glass or to go buy a seal cutter that goes under the glass and you pull it with a cable for leverage. from here http://www.ultrawiztools.com/Products.htm

I know the front windshield requires a cutter to cut the urethane but i don't know if the rear is the same way or how thick the bead is. it was replaced 2 years ago.

So if any of you have done this or had it done professionally chime in with your experience or tips on the specifics of the rear hatch. so i can make an informed decision. Thanks

 

Their is a guy at my work that does all the glass work. If it's any help every rear window I've seen him do, it has about the same amount of bead as the front. He also always uses a cutter, much faster, and easier on the hands. The biggest problem is, that your going to try and get the window to now mate with cf. I asked the guy at my work if he would do that for me, and he said it's a whole nother ball game.
