how does the rear window open on 1982 corvette

you have a CE or it was added ..only the 82 collectors edition had the pop up glass..heres a link for you to read hope it helps >http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c3-general/2932374-1982-rear- hatch-won-t-open.html

also make sure the car is level, tires all up.. lube all you can get to..sometimes a jack under one rear corner will remove some stress / bow if out of alignment,use a heat gun/hair dryer around the seal.if the latch is pulled out as far as it will go try rocking the window..
