How to Change a Rear View Window in a Chevy Pickup

The rear view window in your Chevy Pickup is used for checking traffic patterns while driving. If you can't see through the rear window, you could make an unsafe pass while on the road. You can replace the rear view window with a few household tools found and a new window. You don't have to be a Chevy technician to get this installed. Do it yourself with little hassle and an hour of time.

Instructions

1

Cover the back seat of your pickup with plastic sheeting and put on your safety glasses. Go to the lower corner of the rear view window and insert a flathead screwdriver into the edge of the seal behind the window's chrome tab.

2

Pop the seal out of the corner, then pull it out with your fingers. Go to the outside of the window and have a friend push on the window from the inside. Perform the same procedure on the seal on the outside of the window.

3

Pull the seal out of the groove from the outside until the window comes out of the slot. Go to the inside of the truck and line the window groove with weather stripping sealant.

4

Install the new window into the groove so it is secured inside the sealant. Reinstall the seal into the groove around the inside of the truck. Lock the seal into place with the chrome tab at the lower left hand side of the window, using your flathead screwdriver

5

Go outside and reinstall the seal around the new glass. Secure the seal back into place with your flathead screwdriver as you did on the inside of the vehicle.
