If its a rear window I pity you.
I did mine and I've vowed to never, ever do one again.
I'd rather replace a million front screens than one rear.

I had to be brutal with the glass. It HAS to be fitted from the inside out, the trouble is getting the glass anywhere near the hole.
I was on my back with my feet against it pushing as hard as I could.

With the help of my Dad we got the screen in eventually but the rubber on the inside of the car was terrible, all crinkled where such a large flat area of rubber couldnt handle the curve. The rubber on the outside was torn in places and missing large chunks where I had unavoidably shredded it.
What would Macgyver do..?
