   Oh, I dunno. At the very least, you can sell it or give it away to
another Dak owner. (Though I'm curious as to what kind of mod would
eliminate the rear window. You turning your Dak into a Durango?) Or a
convertible, perhaps? :-)

  This info may or may not apply to you, since it is for a '96. (Taken
from the 1996 Dakota Service Manual)

  Regular cab:

   1 - remove quarter trim panels
   2 - remove headliner
   3 - remove rear closure panel trim.
   4 - bend rear window retaining tabs inward against glass
   5 - using a suitable pneumatic knife from inside the vehicle, cut urethane
       holding backlite frame to opening fence.
   6 - Seperateglass from vehicle.

  The club cab is a lot easier:

  1 - If equipped, remove the window reveal molding/retainer
  2 - Separate the weatherstrip seal lip from the window glass (or frame)
      at one corner with a thin wood or plastic pry tool. Carefully push
      the window glass (or frame) out of the seal.
  3 - Progressively force the glass (or frame) out of the seal and remove
      it from the weatherstrip seal and the window opening.
  4 - Remove the weatherstrip seal from the window opening.

  I hope this helps!
