its fairly simple..I've done several by myself with no issues...remove the chrome locking strip and use the plastic tool to get under the glass, working your way around and it'll roll right out...I bet utube has a video on it...

Soapy water or wd 40 is also your friend.

Just out of curiosity, why do I see everyone ditching the sliding rear glass? I kinda like mine...

I like mine too..No A/C in my truck. I have an electric one in my 2016 Silverado.

I've had problems in more than one truck where the felt padding under the glass that slides gets all bunched up and the window won't close, leaving your vehicle unsecured.

When I finally get that problem solved I never use the slider window again for fear it will happen again.

Other reasons:
Appearance
Blocks view a little bit
Easier to break into
Leaks when wind-driven rain gets in (I'm in FL on the Gulf Coast)
Costs more
I always have ac so don't need it for cab ventilation

Little off subject... has anyone installed the flush rear glass conversion from "one piece glass"?

The headache rack on my flatbed takes care of the security issue. Usually leave the sliding glass open when parked if it's nice outside. If they want the truck bad enough to break the welds on the frame and remove the bed, they deserve to have it.
