OK...I found out that insurance does cover it for 100 dollars deductable. My windshield has a crack across the top, so they will replace them both for the deductable. Not bad. Although, the Safelite guy said he had to roll down the back window so that he can replace the rear window panel. It is because they replace the window frame with the rear window panels. (as one piece) At least, that is what he was going to do. Small problem. My rear window quit working a little while back and I have not gotten around to fixing it. I guess the time is now.
I searched the site, and found the re-initialization instructions from kefguy.

a. Start with the ignition key in the OFF position.
b. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
c. Press the rear window glass control switch vent button six times.
d. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
e. Press the rear window glass control switch vent button six more times.
f. Turn the ignition key to the ON position. At this point the rear window glass will move up and down approximately 20 mm (0.8 in). This movement signifies that the rear window glass motor has entered into the initialization mode.
Note: The rear window glass control switch must be held in the up or down position until the window glass stops moving. Failure to hold the switch will end the initialization operation. Then initialization will have to be re-started.
g. Hold the rear window glass control switch in the full up position until the rear window glass stops in the full up position.
Note: If a repair is to be carried out on the rear window glass release the rear window glass control switch when it reaches the desired position. This will end the initialization operation.
h. Hold the rear window glass control switch in the full down position until the rear window glass stops in the full down position.
i. Hold the rear window glass control switch in the full up position until the rear window glass stops in the full up position. At this time the window will move up and down approximately 20 mm (0.8 in) signifying the rear window glass motor is initialized.

I followed the procedure, but it did not seem to do anything. Once, the motor made a small click, but the window did not move at all.
I check the connector on the motor. The two larges wires have 12 V on them. So, I figure the motor is getting power.
My diagnoses (so far) is that the motor is broken.
Is there a way to manual raise and lower the rear window? I was thinking I could use this to check if the window was jamming. Altough, if it was jamming, I would figure that the motor would be making more noise.
Does anyone have instructions for replacing the rear window motor? and maybe a diagram?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
