How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

I don’t believe anyone advocated a “slip slop jam it together job.” They (and I) merely noted that the chance of breakage is much lower since the pop-out window frame is separate from the glass. In...

How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

I know! It was crazy. The pile was probably 10-15 feet high and like 30-40 feet long. My only thought is they stockpile them and then sell to a recycler or something when copper prices go up?

Having recently bought a second van, I wanted to source another set of tilt-out windows for the rear doors. A 60-degree day here in the Philly area prompted me to knock of work a bit early today and...

Any rear window from 1994 on up should work, as the rear doors were unchanged since the start of the most recent e-van body style.

And the annoying thing when doing a junkyard pull is you have to take apart the door panel to get access to the screw plate, since it installs from the underside.

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

Thanks CarringB, didn't know that. Good point to make! As usual you are an amazing wealth of E-van knowledge. I've added your comment inline in the directions.

I would assume, though, that anyone...

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

Thanks for the extra hints, JWA! I added some of them inline with the instructions, attributed to you. One thing I don't understand, though, is how the butyl might crack the glass? In these windows...

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

9. If your van came with the OEM plastic window trim, you'll need to drill out three holes for the latch mounting screws. The locations of these holes are embossed in the plastic trim from the...

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

5. Install the latch mounting plate. Hopefully when you got your windows you were able to get the OEM mounting plate with threaded holes that was mounted inside the rear door. (See pic below.) If...

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

Step Two: Install the new window

1. Ok, now that you have the door all clean and prepped for the new window, you'll need to prep the window itself for installation. Set the new pop-out window...

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

It's really pretty easy if you take your time. Plus, the glass actually sits in a plastic (or nylon) frame, which is what you'll be prying off the door. The plastic frame is what the mounting bolts...

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

4. Remove residual butyl sealant from door. Most likely there will be a lot left to clean off. I used an old, relatively dull chisel to scrape as much of the sealant off as I could. This was the...

Re: How-to Guide: Replacing rear windows with pop-outs

Step one: remove existing fixed-glass window.

I suggest doing this project on a cooler day or in good shade, as removing the old window sealant (step 4) is a lot easier when cooler. When it's...
