Denis: The same way you install the windshield. I use nylon rope about 1/8"
in diameter, a plastic end cut off of a ball point pen and a T handle on the
end like a lawnmower pull start. First put the rubber on the glass. Then you
feed the rope through the ball point end and use it to push the rope down into
the groove on the window rubber. Push it in the groove all the way around and
overlap it about a foot after you have gone all around the window. Use a
lubricant on the rope and the rubber, I use soap. Push the window in the
opening in the body. Have someone hold pressure on the outside of the glass
for you and have them hold the pressure where you are pulling the rope. Then
start gently pulling the rope out. Either pull straight out or at an angle
toward the glass and away from the edge of the opening. The seal will gently
pull out and over the lip in the body. Move slowly and have the person on the
outside follow your
pulling area with the pressure.
That's about as explicit as I can be without pictures.

Does anybody have a link to, or can easily refresh my memory about how to
install the glass in the rear cargo hatch. I think that it involves rope, but I
forget. CRS syndrome bad.
