Installed the rear glass today. Rather uneventful. I rolled out the 5/16" butyl tape and then applied the suctions cups and plunked the window into place. It touched the tape almost all the way around so I then started massaging the edges to get it to engage the entire circumference. After a while the weight of the glass did the rest of the work and there is a clean engagement line all around.
The problem now is that the rear window stainless is rather mangle-ated. There's only one large ding in one piece but it is all rather too "twisty" to use. I don't want to risk chipping any paint so I am on the hunt for a nice straight set of moldings. There's a few on ebay at the moment.
And before anyone comments, yes it does look like Linda Vaughn helped me install the glass on the passenger side but leaned in a little too close.
