Gotta stick a rope inside the weather stripping, get the glass started in one spot and slip the rope out. Slipping the rope out pulls the weather stripping out around the glass.
Gotcha, Now how do get the new one in. I wont have any trouble gettin the old one out cause there is none there. Only the rubber.

As the boys said, it's very easy to fix that window. Get some small rope and push it into the channel on the rubber that sits on the sheetmetal. Cross over the ends and either use some dish soap on the lip of the rubber or silicone spray it. Get someone to hold the window with the rubber installed up to the opening and start at the bottom middle. Pull on one end of the rope and feed the rubber over the pinch weld. A hook tool of some sort is good for getting started. Pull a little on one side and then the other...the corners may need some urging. After you get all the way around, give the window a couple of good slaps to seat it and you're done.

It sounds harder than it is, really very simple when you do it once. I worked at an auto glass shop back in the day.

Make sure you get every little piece of glass out of the rubber for sure. Good luck.

Thanks, I called around and one installed is 129 dollars. If it's some cheaper i may try putting it in myself. May look at the junk yards for one.
