    Have some rust around the back cab window corner. I've gone as far as purchasing some spray paint primer/color coat. Have removed inside bottom molding and the two 10mm nuts. Just can't figure how to get the back cab window out! Tried prying out the bottom and it won't bulged seems to be glued in place, 05 Basic Tacoma.

    You have to cut it out after removing all the inside trim. It is in fact glued in place with two nuts at the bottom inside and two clips at the top corners.

    Thx Jimmyh, seeing the weep holes at the bottom frame I assume it's a easy removal. Think I'll just clean the area and paint it, without trying removing the window.

    I was thinking the same too until I looked it up.

    Like the old trucks with the rubber gasket that could be pressed out and then reused....

    I was dreading this of the what if. The dealership wanted $1000 and even more if it needed a new rear body shell panel. A local shop quoted $500. So I got some touch up paint & spray primer. Took a dremel drill with a small wire wheel. Cleaned the area, it was so small I sprayed the primer in a cap and took a small brush applied it to the bare medal. Then applied touch up to that area. Easy peasy! Thx, Jimmy
