    Can someone comment on removing/installing the rear cargo windows on
    the 245 wagons? Do new seals need to be used?

    Is there an online source of information for this?

    Thanks.

    Side windows: If they have the metal face trim, remove from groove in
    rubber by carefully prying straight out.

    Once trim ,if any, removed, have someone inside and outside. Inside person
    starts in upper rear corner and pushes out on widow glass. Person on
    outside uses stiff putty knife which they work over top of rubber, under the
    metal lip and then inside to over the inner rubber lip.

    Once putty knife in position accomplished, inside person moves forward and
    pushes out on glass as outside person pulls rubber from top of glass. A
    combination of pushing on glass and pulling on rubber will pop the top of
    the glass outward then lift up ond off once clear.

    Install. Place rubber around glass. Wrap a piece of small soft sash cord
    longer than around the rubber gasket in the window glass groove with both
    ends crossing at the bottom front corner.

    Lube body lip and rubber groove with dish soap. Place bottom rubber groove
    over body lip, the while outside person is pushing in at same point the sash
    cord exits the groove inside, inside person pulls cord which pulls inner
    rubber lip over body metal lip.

    New Seals only if severly damaged. For small leaks or cracks and tears, use
    a bit of Black RTV at those spots.
