Default back glass window

How easy is it to replace the back glass out of my 95 regular cab XLT?

pretty easy, you will need a 9mm, a large torque ratchet, panel tool, some new butyl or urethane and lots of adhesive cleaner and towels

Be sure to have more than one person. start at the top corner and work along the top and then down the other side and then once the top and sides are out have your buddy lift up and out. Have someone stand in the back of the truck.

you wont need a lot of adhesive either, I replaced mine and never used any, but the weatherstripping still fit nice and tight.

if you go back with urethane you only need to snug the nuts back on, the urethane is what keeps the backglass in place

Wow. You guys get fancy. I removed the interior trim pieces and used a handful of flat head screw drivers to pop the rubber trim out. Same process in reverse to put the rubber trim back in. This was the same on my 94 & 95. No adhesive or cleaning necessary on either truck. No leaks either as long as the window molding is in good shape and still pliable. There was no adhesive from the factory on either of my trucks.

my bad, i thought they made the new body style and old one in 95.. yea, the backglass is just a gasket set... you push the glass out, put old gasket on new glass, put a rope in the gasket, set gasket in front of aperture, pull rope from the inside starting at the bottom, glass will seat like factory.. be sure to use some wd40 or silicone lubricant on the gasket so it rolls in easy
