Can anyone give some advice for front and rear window installation in the coupe? One thing I have never done is install front or rear window glass and I guess I am somewhat clueless. Any info / pics or video would be greatly appreciated.

I can't help with the hatch glass, as I have a non-glass hatch.

As for the windshield, most of the builders pay a pro to do the install. After watching it done, I wouldn't tackle that job on my own. I do have some pointers for setting up the windshield area before you install the windshield permanently, though:

Just use the black or clear 3M windshield adhesive. And run a bead around the opening and set it in there. Try not to use too much as its very good stuff. But there's very little science to it. That stuff goes everywhere so be careful. Oh yeah and mask off everywhere you don't want it to go.

The procedure of fitting coupe window takes about 2 hours, it is needed to be professionally sealant for holding it in place as the inside moldings are not quite the best fit. In this was the glass is well sealed.
