Default How hard is it to replace rear window?

I just bought a new deck lid to replace the rear window glass on my 89 coupe. Anybody removed their rear window glass before? I would welcome any tips or instructions on how to do it.
The new deck lid is much lighter and gives the look of a convertible.

I have a picture, but don't know how to post it here. send me your e-mail and I will send you the picture as it was on the car it came off of. I bought it used. Mid America (or maybe Eckler's) has them in their catalog for $1000. I think they're neat as hell!
