2 Questions

Post by Junkbuggy »

1st Question: How do you remove rear window without wrecking rubber window seal? It's fairly new and I want to reuse. 2nd Questions: Should the heat and defrost panel light up so you can see it when its dark? If so, where does the litlte light plug in. ( I have a stray light hanging under the dash and I'm thinking that is where it belongs) Any info would be appreciated. :D

The heater panel should light up and there is a small bulb and plug that go directly in the back of the panel. I amnot sure exactly where, but I will try to see if I can find out and let you know soon.

The light wire is a blue and white of course. The bulb goes center of the writing on the heater panel. There is a round hole in the back that the bulb clips in. I hope this helps enlighten your situation on the heater panel. As far as removing the rear window without messing up the seal I need to find out the same info for my truck. I have heard they just push out, but that sounds too easy to me.

Push it out!
If you have a buddy its easy.........
one guy on each side slowly pulling down on the rubber starting from the top corners and work your way to the center while putting even pressure about 4 inches down from the rubber, then once the top is released go back to the top corners and pull the rubber back using even pushing pressure on the glass, a little past halfway down the window have your buddy stand in the bed and lift gently up on the glass and the rubber and glass will seperate from the cab.
Note you are inside the cab pushing out.
If the rubber is worn at all it will tear for sure.

Make up a spray bottle with soapy water. Get a small o-ring pick and ease the lip out and spray it inside the cab and out . then use the buddy system.
