A lawnmower threw a rock threw my rear passenger side glass ( the big one that goes up and down ). Thinking of solutions. Has anyone had one of these replaced, how much $? Thinking of doing it myself, anyone done this? Thanks for any help. And yes it is tinted.

Never done it but found the below video that seems to cover all the salient points to replace it.

I haven't replaced the glass on a gladiator, but I've had the fronts apart on a Gladiator to put in passive entry - and consider the JT to be easier to work on the doors than many cars I've actually replaced the window glass in.
Don't hurry, be patient with fasteners that are stubborn, I suspect with the video Hootbro posted you can swing it.

I’ve had mine all apart to soundproof the door skins on the inside. Super easy to get to and mess with. Presuming you can source the glass it’s a quick job. May want to pick up some of the little plastic clips just in case.

Do you have glass coverage?

Yes I do. After seeing the video on You Tube I am definitely going to do the replacement myself. I just don't like other people working on my vehicles. I found the glass on ebay for $89.

When dealing with body parts like that, there's always a risk of damage to "other things". If you can do it, go for it.
Besides, 89 bucks is way inside of our deductible - meaning I'd be buying the glass anyway. Insurance wouldn't kick in unless it cost several hundred more.
