Due to age and wear many defrost wires have gone broken on this original rear window(not a wagon). I plan to install a 240 1988 rear window I got from a scrap yard. The defrost wires test good and I will get the bonus of having a good looking brake light included.

I looked in the archives but could not find a method for installation of a sedan rear window.

Here is a method of what I can remember reading many years ago. I think it applies to wagon but I am not sure about sedan:

1- Ajust the rubber seal around the glass pane(do you suggest use some caulking?)

2- Insert a nylon line in the rubber grove that will fit on the metal edge of the car, both ends coming out at the bottom.

3- With some help insert bottom window/rubber seal groove on the car. Then go inside and pull the nylon lines evenly to slip in the rubber seal on each sides first and finish at the top in the center. (do you suggest caulking there to seal better?)

Does that method look right? I would hate to break the glass by being careless.

Many thanks for your advices/suggestions. I want to keep this car for 10 more years. It is SU carburated which makes it poor performing but little maintenance and problems.
