Well...... today someone threw something at the rear right quarter window on my car today and now I gotta replace it. Anyone have any tips on or know how I can replace it?

Just take it to a glass shop, probably only $100 for the job. Maybe less

I might have to do that.
They do have the piece on ebay for like $65 dollars, but I need to find out how to take out the old piece and put in the new one. I can't really find info on it anywhere though.

I actually did the left one on my old civic so I can provide some insight.

I went to a junkyard and pulled one using a filleting knife. Took a decently long time but came out pretty easily. I removed the one on my car the same way and then shaved down the mating surface so it was relatively smooth. I wiped it down with some rubbing alcohol, applied a decent layer of windshield caulking, then taped it to my car and left it overnight. Haven’t had a problem since and that was probably 3 years ago.

I was quoted like $250 for just the window. Not sure why, probably because it’s less common?

if you are in US, insurance usually pays for the windows glass

*UPDATE*

I took off the door panel, and got rid of the old quarter piece, it was relatively easy to take out. I ordered the replacement piece on ebay for like $65 dollars.

My question is how important is the piece of trim on the front portion of the window you know the part that kind of hugs the contour of the car body I mean I guess it acts like a shield because there's caulking behind it but I couldn't help but damage that portion a little bit does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'll try to get a picture uploaded

I'll need a photo. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's fairly important.

have no idea what you are talking about, don't remember anything like that on 96-00 cars.(you did post on the 6th gen section, so supposing you are talking about this gen?)
