When you put the 1/4 windows back in, don't overtighten the screws on the clips. It's REALLY easy to break the glass. I had to replace the driver's side because I was too stupid to leave them the way GM originally put them in when I did some interior work...

Finding a good tinted 1/4 window wasn't easy either...

IMO, another good reason to urethane them in. You won't be relying on pressure to keep a good seal, the clips will just support the glass while the urethane sets.

The clips weren't even remotely what I would call tight. They weren't even touching the glass. I figured I'd snug them just enough to eliminate a possible rattle. The next day the window was popped...
