How to Remove the Rear Window in a Chevrolet Aveo

Like all GM sedans, the Aveo has rear window molding that seats into the frame. The rear window can be removed with special tools available at most auto parts stores. When removing the rear window in an Aveo, it's important to use safety equipment like protective eye wear and gloves so that you don't get injured if the glass should break while you're handling it.

Instructions

1

Slide the tip of the window trim removal tool underneath the plastic molding on the rear window.

2

Pry up on the tool and work it around the outer edge of the glass carefully pulling up the molding until the entire molding has been removed.

3

Cut the underlying urethane molding with the blade of the automotive cutting knife. Since the urethane molding is going to be quite tough, it may take you anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to cut through it.

4

Pull the windshield off the frame of the Aveo.
