The 73 rear window is held in with butyl rubber - same stuff used for
originally installing the windshield. It is ready available in coils from
reputable car parts stores. It is a sticky strip (usually 1/4 or 3/8 diameter)
that is placed in the frame - then the window is set in place. The
interior trim holds it up there. Well, at least that's the way my 75 was.
I believe the 73 to be the same.
Since it is out - perhaps consider a change over to an early style
removable rear window. There are a few things to buy - including
the window, latches and hardware - plus rear roof panels.
This is a very popular (and somewhat easy) modification.
