Fixing the rear window of your Mitsubishi truck is like fixing the back window of any other truck. Most of the time, this kind of repair would require replacing your old window with a new one, especially if the former is heavily damaged or has a crack. Remember, however, that if the crack is just a small one, applying a good sealant will do the trick, and you won't need to buy a new window for your vehicle.

Check your rear windows for damage by using a pail of water and see if there is a leak. This will help you locate where the damage is and will make your job a lot easier.
2Determine whether the seal or the window itself is damaged. This will help you decide whether you only have to seal a leak or a crack or replace the window with a new one. If the seal is broken go to Step 3, if it's the window that's broken go straight to Step 4.
3Replace the rubber seal on your rear window by cutting the rubber around it. Use your knife to do this. Take your time to remove the rubber until you can easily pull out the window. Put a new rubber seal around your window and put it back into the car's opening. Finish by applying a sealant. Make sure to have some water on hand so you can check if it seals perfectly.
4Remove the rubber lock and then take out your window. Change the old window to the new one by firmly securing the area around it with the rubber seal. Finish this by applying sealant and then put the lock back in place.
5Allow the sealant to cure for about 15 hours.
