Broken rear passenger window

While away from my truck, it was broken into. I'm flying back to deal with it and i need to turn off my devices but I was thinking if it would be easy enough to repair myself.

Anyone come across a decent how to for this situation?

That sucks.

Any glass shop will fix that. Don’t know what you would save money wise doing it yourself but may be more really said and done.

Had the same thing happen on my wife's pathfinder a year ago, and fixed it myself. It's pretty straightforward. Hardest part is getting the door panel off without breaking something. I haven't looked, but there are probably you tube videos showing how to take off the door panel. If you have comprehensive glass coverage on your insurance though, you can likely have it replaced by a glass shop at no cost to you.

this has always been my experience, they even submit it all to the insurance company for you...

If your insurance covers glass, let them handle it for you.

The rear glass is very easy to swap. I did mine because I didn't trust a glass shop to get all the glass out of the door. I took extra care and cleaned all the glass felting and cleaned the slide grease out and re greased the channel. Removing the glass is as simple as lowering it all the way down, pulling the felt, take the window actuator bolts loose and feed the new window in. Slide the felt down the forward part of the window first.
