Replace the whole window. I bought this one from a junkyard, the only one they had. I've been looking on ebay for a decently priced one. If you have the mirrors that flip out I think it is going to be really easy to change.

A little dark for me, but it still looks good. I think I have made up my mind that I am going to tint them.

From what I see, it looks like only 3-4 nuts to remove and I shouldn't have to real seal anything. I just don't feel like removing all of the interior panels if it's not necessary.

It's actually fairly simple to do. The clamp the holds the window shut and holds it open is held on by like 2 screws iirc. You have to take that off in order to remove the interior panel that covers up the rear speaker behind the driver seat.

Also you have to unbolt the driver seatbelt pulley thing in order to get the panel out, I just used a big allan wrench to do this, screw your star shaped bolts. Yes with the correct size Allen wrench you can loosen and tighten the star bolt for the seatbelt pulley. I did it and was able to tighten it back up just fine.
