Well, I was a victim of car theft/vandalism first time in my 31 years. I went with my wife to IHOP. When we go back to my HHR I noticed the rear fixed slide glass broken from the drivers side, and a lot of shattered glass. Stopid thief, didn´t steal anything (I avoid to keep stuff inside my hhr ALL THE TIME to avoid that) and I think that the alarm was set when he opened the door, but I didn´t hear it because I parked it far away.Now I have a broken Glass. Somebody have changed it on their own? I plan to buy the glass and install it.

 

The OEM vent window includes outer window Frame. Any ideas how I can remove it?

 

That's terrible! Too bad 843de is gone. He would know what to do.

 

I didn´t know about that!!!! What happened to Mike, Kevin?

 

He is no longer with us here on the forum.

 

Those are sad news ... The forum will not be the same without him.

 

I'd get the little window from a you-pull it junkyard out of a damaged door, then you'll see how it comes apart.

I had mine apart when I started disassembly for panel conversion, but that was 6 years ago now! Can't really remember EXACTLY how it comes apart, but it's not bad. The moving window and associated parts must come out first I believe, allowing the fixed panel to come out by angling it.

 

That info can help me Jeff. You say that only I need to pull the plastic trim and at the end the remaining of the rear window?

Pretty sure Zagohhr is talking about the little fixed vent window on the back passenger doors.
