I have a 1985 B2 that was recently in an accident, hit my drivers side fender and rear quarter panel just nearly missing my back window (hit the trim), but now when I drive I swear the windows about to pop out. I need help on how to take it out and the best thing to reseal/make it stay in without spending to much. Not sure if its on bolts or glued in.

I'm working on an '85 this winter. Those side back windows are GLUED in! It isn't going to pop out, it will shatter first. To get them out I use guitar strings. You have to create a small space between the window and body, thru the bonding agent. Slide a guitar, or piano or whatever string thru the hole and commence with a sawing action. Its slow and tedious, but doable. Good luck!

The best bet is to use windshield urethane
