My lawn mower was rolling around in the back and it smashed the rearmost side window in my wagon. If I find another window, how hard is it to do this myself? I see it has heating elements in it although I'm not even certain they still worked before the breakage occurred.

How much experience do you have? Tools? The wires are not heating elements in the side window, that is your radio antenna.

I have a lot of experience working on cars just not a lot of experience on windows specifically. No problem on tools, I've got those.

Personally, I wouldn't attempt it. Find a junker window and see if one of the guys at your local window place will do it for a good price (like maybe on his way home from work if you know what I mean).

That's a fixed window; you may need to saw out the remnants before reinstalling with structural window adhesive.
