Default update/ back glass help

hey guys long time since ive been on here. the last year has been ****! last yr around this time my truck transmission blew out. then my dad died then i got a divorce. i got laid off followed by a DUI and going through a brutal custody battle and im sure i forgot some other crucial stuff. after paying about 2k to have the transmission rebuilt, my ex tried to take the truck in the split, after fighting for it back the registration ran out. i started a new job not to long ago at a local salvage yard got a nice exhaust for under 200 bucks im welding it on this week. ive got temp plates on my truck until i pass emissions. well before she gave it back she busted out my rear window.
i bought a rear sliding back glass from work... ive searched the forum using different wordings and cant find any help with replacing this back glass. the seal and some glass are left from the old one. i remember hearing once about using fishing line to take the old one out. what about putting the new one in? any write ups or links on replacing back glass????

I would just take the truck and new glass to a glass shop. They only charged me $50 to put it in. Well worth not having to deal with it and potential leaks.

+1... And just an FYI. The rear slider requires a heat gun for removal.
