Blazer Rear Window Replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to replace the rear window on my Blazer and have a few questions:

Does it come out from the inside or outside?
The gasket looks good, but since it is 30-some years old will it be too stiff to work with and require replacement?
Are there any tricks to avoid damage to the hatch and window?

Replace the rubber. No matter how good it looks you would never get it back in with a new window. So just cut the rubber off and there will be less chance if breaking the glass getting it out. I put mine in from the inside using the string method. Just like putting a windshield in. I think there was a post in the FAQ section on installing a windshield.

I cut mine out with a xacto knife, glass fell right out, gasket went into the trash
