WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: If the rear window glass is being removed to repair a dust/water leak, remove and reinstall the existing rear window glass.

Remove the rear window glass nuts.

NOTE: Use only a plastic windshield setting tool to slide under the seal to separate the foam core butyl from the glass. Once the glass starts to separate from the body, constant hand pressure will break the seal and the glass can be removed. Failure to use a plastic windshield setting tool can damage the body or the glass frame.

Remove the rear window glass.
