If you were a registered user, you would not be seeing this!

I walk outside today and found out some nice person blew out my rear window on my 93 dodge spirit...would it be possible to replace this myself. If not are there any good alternatives to glass that will keep me warm 20 degree weather. Thanks.

If your glass had a rear defroster then there is a dealer in Michigan that shows it on the Mopar locator. There contact info is 586-276-1700. Before it was discontinued the list price was $167.00

a cheaper alternative would be to go to the local u pull it salvage yard. They should likely have several acclaims and spirits from which you could pull a glass for less than $50. Even if you were not confident in installing it yourself, you could take it and the car to a glass installer and still save money.

there's a tool sold through shops that cater to auto body- it's effectively a serrated cable that you push through the goop and then work back and forth to saw out the caulking that holds the window in. You might want to try to find one of these before attempting to pull the window.

This is a better tool to use.

I don't like the sawing tool unless you don't care what happens to the windshield. The referenced tool has a blade on one end that you pull through the sealer to cut it.

Had a windshield replaced on a Turismo some years ago and the guy at the glass shop used this tool. It only took him a few minutes to pop it out.
