Back Window Repair
Ok so I know there has been a thread recently about this and several in the past but I am truly lost,
quick story
I got hit by a semi, bent my frame slightly but not bad, destroyed the drivers side of my bed and my head was the nice sledge hammer that knocked out my rear window. the opening is not bent at all where the window is, the gasket I believe is in good condition the weather stipping I should say is not destroyed it looks like it could pop back in? just have to clean out the glass shards but I can get a back window for 9 bucks at the local pull and saves.
So my question is can someone give me a really detailed dumbed down version of how to take the window out with the gasket determine if the gasket is even any good, and to reinstall it into my truck. Pictures would totally help, but I just need a really dumbed down version of how to do it, I know these are the rope method and that just confuses me to all heck.
thanks in advanced

Check out this thread on installing a front windshield using the "rope method", the rear glass is done the same way and it is easier than the windshield. I would buy a new gasket unless you feel your old one is in really good shape. If you need more info, just do a search and you will find many threads on this subject.
