window replacement
Jeff,
After you get the old glass out I'd suggest a good ration of silicon sealer around both the glass itself and the rubber surround. I put mine in dry initially and had water blowing by while driving. I removed the whole thing and silicon sealed between the rubber and the windshield frame. Now it only drips on my feet LOL.

I used silicone between the rubber and the frame. Right in the corner so it wouldn't squeeze out either side.
There are three seals that go between the frame and body:
5939685 center
5939686 left
5939687 right
These seals are pre shaped and only sticky on one side.
I also had an 8 foot piece of black butyl, 6001115. It is about 1/2" thick and very sticky with a consistency of clay.
$7 if you want the three above. And you won't have to scrape silicone off if you take the frame off later.

It ended up being a piece of cake, just removing the flash guards and the window will pretty much pop right out replace the glass and it fits right back in. The rubber was like new so did not need any replacing. Awesome!! Semper Fi
