Removable rear window picts

OK so I've purchased the parts for my 77. Now I could use some pictures. Can anyone help with some shots to help guide me with my installation. Thanks.

I had one or two ... can't find 'em right now, but here's a TTT for ya.
First thing is to remove the window trim and side roof panels.
You should see the mounting spots for the top latches.
The old glass is held with Butyl rubber. Heat will make it soft.
Mine ('75) fell out on it's own after sitting under a tarp during the summer.

Yes please take some shots, If you could take a pict of the finished look, and some of the exposed hardware that would be great.

I'm getting some pics tonight of the 70 ... factory setup.
Tomorrow morning, I will get shots of my 75, with the
interior and window removed.

It was too rainy this morning to do it .. luckily I missed the snow.

I found a decent rear window on ebay ... got it for $27 a year or 2 ago.

Here are some pics .. no time for descriptions ... 2 from the 75
and a few from the 70. Excuse the rust on the BC ... interior is last on the list.

Catch up later ... and I'll try to get more with the 70 hardware removed further.

If nothing else, cut (break the rubber seal) the rear window out and see what you think. You can always put it back in.
