Default Replacing the rear window on a 1993

Hi all.
I managed to shatter my rear window into a million pieces on my lawn out front but the local wrecker has a replacement for me.

Are there any "got-yas" that I have to watch out for when replacing the window? It looks like I just have 4 screws to deal with (besides the wiring for the wiper.) I also bought some new supports so hopefully the window will stay open on it's own.

Thanks for any advice. Now, back to vaccuming the front lawn. A guy driving past stopped and took a picture of me doing so. LOL! I'm an old guy but not that far gone!

Nope not really. If the plastic inserts on the upper bolts are rotted away you might want to change them out too or the bolts can break your new window.

Thanks ohsofly.

It looks like there used to be rubber bushings around the bolts that go through the glass.

Anybody have any idea where I can find those?
