I found the tailgate glass for my 87 240 at a repair shop. 100 bucks. The owner informed me how to install it. So simple. The glass in held in place by the gasket only. So from the inside remove the panel on the tailgate and disconnect wires attached stoplight and glass. Just look at the wires it is easy. Then using a scraper and flat screwdriver from the inside with someone holding the glass on the outside begin prying the rubber molding off of the tailgate. Just take your time and work it off...To install I lubricated the rubber molding with syl glyde to make it slide in place easier. With a helper holding the glass in place on the outside, work the rubber molding back on the tailgate using a couple of flat tools. I used a scraper and screwdriver. EASY! Once in place connect your wires, reinstall the panel and your done.
