Default Changing the rear quarter window glass on S13 hatch?

Anyone have any experience changing out the rear quarter window glass on an S13 hatch? Old one is busted, I have a new one to put in... I've just never done anything like this before. Tips? Or should I just call an auto glass place? Haha.

It's kinda hard to screw up. The glass has pegs that locate it in the hole. Just clear out the old stuff, remove as much of the old sealer as you can, run a new bead of 3M Windo Weld, and slap the new glass in. Apply medium pressure for a few minutes.

Lol. I got kinda nervous reading about all the idiots on zilvia breaking glass and shit trying to install/remove windows. But I guess the hardest part is removing the window without breaking it

Not particularly, but PM me a price... The shell I got came with a busted 1/4 window, but he also included a non busted replacement. I just need to install it.
