How much would it cost to replace the rear window in a 1981 El Camino?

It will depend on whether you are getting the glass or the whole window which includes:

- Frame

- Molding

- Weatherstrip

- Lift arms

The cheapest option is to only replace the glass, but this requires removing the old window frame. This can be a complicated and time-consuming process, so it is not recommended for amateur mechanics. The next least expensive option is to replace just the frame, but if the molding, weather stripping and lift arms are worn, it may be best to just replace the whole rear window assembly.

You can find rear windows or just glass for as low as $25 up to over $350.
