Did you replace the rubber gasket as well? Be careful with the chrome trim it bends easy and is impossible to find a new one.

Keep me posted since I am getting ready to undertake the same project. I have all the chrome, rubber, and clips. The existing rear window (original with the car in 1969) is fogged and I need to replace. Where did you get your replacement scream and how many$ ? I see them on SNG for about $1,000 but I have never checked availability. I would be redoing it to sell but wonder if it is worth the effort. I live in Houston and know that I I will never put it back on the car. Thanks, and good luck.
