Replacing rear window

[JDM-killer]

Whats up guys i just bought a carbon fiber hatch for my 1997 eclipse rs and was wondering if any body could shed some light on how to remove my old window and install it onto my new hatch. Any info would be much appreciated
thank you.

I would have a professional auto glass company do it if it were me...

I suggest you save up the money to have it done professionaly.

Check with anyone that you know who has a shop they might be able to hook you up with someone cheap.
We just yanked a windshield out and had a pro install it and he only charged like $60.
Of course you will need the wire to cut the window out.
And a second set of hands.
It's not tough getting them out, it's the sealing that's the biggie.

ya ima have to save up beacause sealing it is my biggest worry and not only that by the time i buy the tooling, weather stipping and what ever else goes with it, it will be a bigger hassel than saving a little more money for a pro to do it.

Yeah something better left for the pro.

Yes i broke my passenger side handle one day and i know for sure the drivers side has been replaced..........it's red under the crappy black paint job.
Oh ya i have a Talon

Door handles breaking on 2gs is very common.
