How easy is it to change the rear window?

[Daz.]

??

I want to put my new one in - I'm sure I read its just held in by the seal but how do you get it in and out?

Can I use the same seal?

I reckon you could use it, if you were careful.

Or you'll have my luck, tear it getting the window out, then have to source a new one and struggle to get it back in lol

Its pretty easy mate....I did mine on my own...but i've had a hand b4...which was a lot easier. U need to undo the two bolts holding the handle in...then hold the window with one hand and undo the two screws on the opposite site with the other hand. I replaced both of the seals after the full re-spray as the old ones were horrible and leaked. there easy to remove...but if u buy new ones like I did then they need cutting down to fit. No more leaking and the seals look lovely! Bit expenive though from memory.

get down your local pound shop and you can get those rubber sucker things which suck the glass and give it a handel, only 99p each or you can get em on ebay for a few quid you can lift the glass out easily then and pop the rubber out

[Daz.]

Oh good I'll be giving that a go soon then :D

ahem??????? who did what :lol: nah you did watch as i put your windows in so i suppose you was the foreman :wink:

Just to confirm the screwdriver wedging out way works with the REAR window yes? the one that the wiper has fun with and not the SIDE ones? :D

The side ones were piss - getting new seals on was the barsteward!

[Rich]

yes the rear window mate. i started where the drain hole was as this proved the best route to get under the seal. bese putting a little masking tape on the paintwork to avoid scratching it by accident when you first prise it out, after you pop the first bit you just run the screwdriver round it on the shaft to help the seal out
