Default Glass weight

Does anyone know how much the glass weighs on our trucks? Looking for the rear window more specifically. Putting a roll bar in and would like to know.

thanks!

Stew he's putting in a roll bar for the track so the rear window has to come out and the holes in the frame I'm guessing are for the tube to go into the frame and be welded
