I think most people swap the entire hatch to avoid the trouble.

dilemma: rusted, crappy hatch - nice window
nice, rustless hatch - no window

do you see my problem?

just take them both to a glass installer. Wont cost more then $200, and you will be assured it is done correctly. Shouldnt even cost that much cause you have your own glass.

agreed, call around to check for prices as it can be a difference of upto $100 depending where you go. They'll always give you the warning that removing the glass can result in breaking it but of course, with the more reputable shops, you'll be a little safer.

The hatch window is the only one i don't know how to remove/install.
