Any tips on replacing my FHC rear window?

I'm hoping to get my rear window back into the car this weekend - do any of you have any tips to make the job easier? I haven't rebuilt the interior, so do you think it's best to wait until I've done that or does it not really matter?

Thanks,

Mac.

Rear window should be left till the headliner is back in place.
Also don't forget the small strip of trim running allongthe underside of the window.
Use a thin but strong piece of cord in the outside channel of the seal to pull the lip over the rim. You'll need an assistant.

Give the Rubber seal a good clean and apply some vasoline to help the rubber seal/ window back into position.

Makes a big difference and also helps towards the water sealing on the window.
