So how is this done, I put the quarter windows back in the shell with the rubber already on the glass as recommended in the workshop manual. But the manual is silent on putting the hatch window back in. Suggestions?

Same way, put the window inside the rubber and use some cord to pull the rubber over the metal lip.

Yup. Same way you put the side windows in.

Thanks, starting on my new car, it more or less came in a box and I have never taken a rear window out.

I find it easier to put single core wire in the grove where the frame will sit, apply some lube, place the window on the car, push it slightly then go inside and pull the cable along.. nice and easy
