Passenger rear side window

Post by jerrycarrj » Fri Feb 14, 2014 8:05 pm

Hi can anyone out there give me some guidance on replacing side window as some sweet person or persons has decided to shatter mine. I've seen some on eBay around £50 but need to know if I can fit them myself. I have 1996 2 ltr auto top tinted black windows, cheers guys.

This is very easy.

Sorry to hear of your bad luck, common sense will show you how to do it.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

No worries, screws just undo and one pin easily knocks out with a drift. One way is much easier but, of course, I can't remember which way.

Test gently and it should be obvious. :wink:

Edit: Try and make sure you retain the fittings from the broken one incase the replacement doesn't have them.

Hi

We managed to replace ours and we're rubbish at both car stuff and DIY :oops:

Good luck.

Window arrived Friday. Saturday morning I set out to replace window, removed old one easily so far so good. The replacement was easy to see how it fitted but needed a helping hand to hold window in place as I made good the fixings . Surprisingly easy job thought something would go wrong it usually does. Cheers
