broken back window 1956 Caravanner

Can anyone give me some tips on how to remove the back pane of glass and replace it as I managed to smash it today while trying to open the window from the inside. The window appears to be a fixed riveted unit and it was unhinged. Any help much appreciated

I can't picture this

I don't see the problem. Has your Caravaner been modified? The window should be a straight forwrd hinged panel with flat glass. Is this the one....?

This caravanner was my old 56 Caravanner. It has an emergency exit window. That glass should be easy to replace once the frame is cleared from the frame.

Hi Melody Ranch

Sorry not to get back to your reply sooner, I am new to this forum and thought I'd get an email alert so I just responded to a private email from soldiermedic. All is ok now as he and you both know it's a simple job and I just panicked! Thanks again.
