Default Broke rear window

Went wheeling today had to get jumper cables out of hatch for my buddy I couldn't jump him so gave them to other jeep to try then went through a rut and forgot to close back. It slammed down and shattered my rear window. Anybody ever replace one wondering how easy it is or should I just pay a shop?

25 bucks to 50... you string it in.. very simple and easy.. Just run a piece of string in the groove that the metal frame in hatch goes in...spray with wd 40 have one person on outside pushing window gently... start pulling string and it will fold the rubber down and over the lip on the hatch... once you get one side started pull the other end of string get the other side started.. and befor you know it you be at the bottom and poof its in....

I got my rear window for $30 got it out of jeep at junkyard in about 2 minutes then got it in my jeep in about 8 minutes. Had to peel tint off with razors and GOO OFF because it was an old tint that was purple and peeling everywhere. Now it is crystal clear.
