Wagon rear window removal? 200 1983

I have removed the liftback on my 240 wagon. Now I need to remove the window w/o breaking it. How is this done? Thanks

Dave

    I am doing both my cargo windows right now. What I found helpful is to slip a flexible putty knife under the inner side of the rubber seal. lift the seal up toward the top of the body flange, as Don foster has said.

    As you do this, use a large, flat screwdriver to nudge the ruber gasket over the top of the flange.

    Work from one bottom corner to the other. Extend this about six inches up the pillars on each end.

    By this time, the window should push out from the inside. Have a helper outside to receive it, or, stand in the hatch to pass one corner out to yourself.

    This is tedious and time consuming. Have patience. And, don't try to lever things so the windows cracks. (It takes a lot of punishment, but still, ovserve caution)

    "...need to remove the window w/o breaking it. How is this done?"

    Very carefully.



    First disconnect the defroster wires.

    Then carefully pry the edge of the rubber gasket up and over the "lip" or flange in the tailgate sheet metal. Work your way around the opening, and soon you can lift the glass (with the gasket, or grommet, still on it) out of the opening.
