Managed to bust out the back glass in my '85! I'm so mad at myself!

Got a hold of a 8" diameter pipe, about 15' long. wanted to get it home before any of the other vultures at work got their hands on it. At least 1/4" wall thickness.

Thought, no problem, it will strap down just fine in the truck.

Wrong! Straps came loose and it proceeded to bust out all but one of the glass panels in the sliding back glass. It sort of rolled across the tailgate, and the end that was in the bed hit the back glass.

You had to be there to witness the stupidity.

How do you get the back glass out?
