    Clips have to be kept tight, really tight. It's not a good design.

    I agree on the poor design.

    We always keep the back window down because of that in the 430D at my summer job, the boss is to cheap to fix it, so we just open up the side windows.

    Anyone able to point me in the direction for a lower rear window for a case 580E?

    Mighty Moe; If you take a piece of cardboard and put it over the hole the window was in, have another person trace around hole,take the rubber out first. Then take to any shop that replaces safety glass they can reproduce that window.Also take rubber with you so they know how much less to cut the glass. I replaced a lot for auction equipment years ago. Hope this helps. Mailtrain PS Where in N.Y. are you located
