Any idea why this miscreant picked you out of the crowd? I'm sorry it happened, but at least you were very well prepared for the situation. I doubt the beer bottle tosser had any idea that you and your son could take care of the situation.

"Now how do I replace the back glass? I see the obvious however how can I remove the trim around the glass without breaking it or the little retainers? I hadn't planned on doing much this weekend but I guess no one ever knows the fate of a saturday! "

If you would like I will send you a file on replacing the rear glass in a sedan. It has all the pictures and shows the (unecessary) factory tools for the job. Yes, the window is glued in, and they come out tough. The trim is removed from the bottom of the glass first by pring against the missing rear glass. Then you push the trim moulding clips from the sides and upper edge (Not the lower edge).

Isn't your car a 1985? They used the large wire rear window glass. When Volvo went to the fine wire rear glass (1987 modle year) with more defrosting power, they upgraded the rear defroster switch. I like the fine wire glass better, and that is probably what your replacement glass will be. I would be delighted to send you the newer rear defroster switch if you need it.
