Back Window Replacement
These procedures include replacement of outside mouldings on models so equipped. If the model being worked on does not have outside mouldings, skip the moulding replacement steps.
1. With a helper outside, loosen the weatherstrip, and then push the curved glass and weatherstrip outward through opening. On models with flat glass, push glass inward.
2. Remove the weatherstrip from the glass.
3. Remove the mouldings from the weatherstrip.
4. Clean the back window opening flange, and check the flange for wavy area and repair as necessary.
5. Clean the weatherstrip with cleaning solvent to remove all the old sealer and cement.
6. Install the moulding in the weatherstrip. Leave the joint covers off untill the glass is installed in the cab.
7. Apply caulk and sealer in the glass crevice of the weatherstrip, and install it on the glass.
8. Run a bead of caulk and sealer around the opening flange and in the flange crevice in the weatherstrip.
9. Install a draw cord all around the weatherstrip in the flange crevice. Let the draw cord overlap at the bottom center. Apply RuGlyde to the weatherstrip lip.
10. Position the glass assembly in the opening. With a helper applying han pressure from the other side, draw the weatherstrip lip over the window opening lower flange, and then over the upper flange.
11. Install the moulding joint covers.
12. Water test the installation for leaks. If leaks exist, apply additional caulk and sealer.

I've never done this, but I'm guessing if you push the glass inward to remove, then you would install from the inside. I'd go down to your local autoglass shop and talk with them. They probably wouldn't charge too much considering its a flat piece of glass.

Personally I would just cut the old weatherstripping off with a razor and install a new seal since it most likely wont go back on without a fight if it's been there a while. Not to mention that the seal will look weathered in comparison to the fresh paint.
