I've stumped quite a few glass installers when it comes to the left rear
side window on a Westy.  Only 1 out of 3 was able to complete the job.  It
took him 3 hours and he swore he'd never do another.

Cheers,

Jeff

        Only front glasses are really breakable through handling and install
.
           Keep on asking around , they were politely telling you they did
not want to do that job .
            If you are putting new seals in , just replace the front glass
.it is probably way past it useful life . You would not drive  a tire past
it's wear bars but most people will drive a windshield until they just can't
see through it , kinda like driving around with steel bands showing through
their tires .
               Look on Craigslist , there are some competent guys on there ,
you just need to grill them to see if they understand rubber set windows or
not .
             Good luck .
