Back Window replacement

About a month ago someone had the misfortune to have a rock thrown through
the back windo of their GMC. My recollection is that it was replaced rather
simply(?) by the local glass dealer. I too have suffered a similar fate,
although not from malicious vandals. My questions are:

Was the replacement window tempered safety glass, and if so where was it
ordered from? If not timpered safety glass I presume it was laminated
safety glass like in windshields. True?

Is there a source for new rubber moldings? If not, is there a method for
softing-up the existing molding? (Mine may be ok, but don't know yet.)

Are there special instructions that an installer should know about? I have
some experience with replacing windshields, and family members with the
skill to do so, but any special instructions ahead of time would be helpful.

Thanks for your help.

$195 actually sounds cheap. Thanks.

I'll let the list know how it goes

I'm the one who had a rock thrown through the rear window.

It's tempered glass. I got it from Max at Buskirk-Rush RV and had a local glass
shop put it in. Took two guys about 20 minutes to remove the old and put in the
new. Nothing rocket science there. It goes in place from the inside of the
coach.

I was vandelised and lost my rear window. AFAR they just put in a
new safety glass one, but I asked them to tint it first so it would
protect from the sun.
