Tahoe to Esky, How to swap rear windows?

[fubar]

i colored match mine also only to find out it doesnt fit my OEM tahoe Glass.

I still havent check mine fits lol
but did measured it up and looks to be the same size. I have mine scheduled to get painted on thursday. Shet ama take off mine and install the esky one before just to make sure unlike travieso lol

open up lift glass. Undo your 3rd brake light. 2 phillips screws. Take it out, follow plug to headliner unplug it. Pull light out. Then there is a C clip that secures the glass. If you look on top of the roof, meaning look where you just took the 3rd brake light out from. Look on the left and right sides of the glass. You will see what looks like a hinge. There is a C clip on both sides. Pull it out, i had to get aggressive w/ mine, But still works fine. Once those clips are off. HOLD THE GLASS. Then proceed to take off the shock absorbers(whatever they are called) that hold the glass up. Just a flat head (hard to explain this one) but pop up a little bracket on them and they pop off. HOLD THE GLASS, it will fall. Then once those are off, pull the glass to the left, May have to take off the left vent. I did. then it slides right off. Put on escalade one in reverse. Just did this, its easy if you just look at it, This might make sense better.

and there is a thread on this, i found them. Just didnt save it. ill see if i can find it.

yeah my prev. post is confusing. just reread it. lol.

No, there are no screws for removing the lift glass. No screws at all. THe only screws are for the third brake light you have now. The tahoe brake light. You have to take it off.

For the glass, close the hatch, which it looks like you have the hatch open in that pic, close it and open only the glass part. Look kind of right where you put the arrows on that pic, where those srews are and you will see little C- clips taht are holding it on, Left and right side, only 1 of these per side. Take them off, then sllide the glass over to the left, Might have to take off the vent caps. (i did) make sure you undo your defroster plugs also. Slide off, do the same for putting on in reverse. Sllide it back on, put the c clips back and your done.

If you want i'll try to get a pic if you need.

haha yeap.. well did it today, found those infamous C Clips, swapped rear glass and here is a capture of it



BTW: Removing the left vent did it too so that way you slide the glass window out of the hinges to the left.

Thanks for all the help guys

looks good. really like that color, is it a stock color on a tahoe. Cant remember ever seeing one that blue. Realy like it. Color match everything, would be sweet looking.

GM u9792 is the color, Indigo Blue.
