hello and G'day to you All!

I have a question in regards to replacement of my passenger side wing window. Sadly, it was broken and now needs to be replaced. I know I could call my insurance company but my deductible for comp is 500, I don't suspect the wing window would cost that much but I'm unsure. Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost, and process/procedure for replacement? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The small triangle glass after the rear doors?
No idea what it would cost to replace at a shop, you'd have to call and get an estimate.

As far as doing it yourself, the trim around the window is held on with a few clips and phillips head screws. Remove them and the glass is exposed, it's just sealed to the car with urethane. Clean the surface, lay a new bead of 3M window weld, and install the glass. Takes 24 hrs. to cure, and during that time you have to close the doors with the windows cracked open to release pressure from popping out that glass you glued in.

Apparently I scanned stuff I forgot about :)

One thing to note is that to get the nut off you need to get at it from the back side of the trim inside the car, which means you have to take the interior trim piece off.

It's pretty common for some of the clips to break. The rear clip on my window has been broken since I got it. The driver's side rear window was broken at some time and replaced.
