Seems a little steep

[A31PKG]

Does this seem a little steep , I was checking around for someone to reinstall the front and rear windows in my rr , no one in the area will touch it except this outfit out of Burlington Vt "Crash auto glass" They said they would send two guys @ $200 per hour and it could take two to five hours , with no guarantees , if the glass breaks while installing its tuff titty said the kitty . I might try to install the rear glass but not the front . Any suggestions or recommendations ? I really don't want to spend a $1000 , seems crazy !

I've done several and you will be surprised at how easy it is! The rear just sets in place. I use the 5/16" dia. window glass gasket...comes in a roll with a couple rubber blocks to put in the bottom channel for proper spacing. You can trim the blocks as needed. Once the glass is pressed into place, the 5/16" dia. allows for plenty (usually) of room to re-install the window trim. For the front, just set the gasket in the pinchwelds, even it up, set the lower edge of the glass in the channel, and then work it into the channel all the way around. Then tuck in the locking flap....DONE! The gasket is not cheap...It was out of production for a while and the prices went thru the roof...

So now I'm confused ,I thought the rear window went in with the black cocking sealer and only the front window got the gasket .

cocking (buytle) in the rear, gasket in the front

Look for info on pulling the windshield in with a rope. Years ago I worked at PPG and that is how we installed anything that used a gasket type seal. Also like one guy said, use a lot of silicone spray.

You might want to get some of this to put on the pinch weld before the gasket. Even the factory did this because they didn't seal well. Just a few inches in the bottom corners of the windshield.
