Removal of rear window

Post by dark matter »

I need to remove my rear window from my hard top. I have had to replace my rear door and my new one is a lovely red, but the rest of the car is grey.

Any ideas on how to remove it so I can spray the door, without cutting the rubber?

Thanks

Just use a really small screwdriver to pry the rubber seal out, if its anything like the front screen it will be really easy, unless someone has used silicone or something to seal it.

Less hassle to just tape up the window and paint the door. Getting it out and back in without potentially damaging the glass or rubber might be a problem.

getting it out....it will only go one way. more likely roll and push the rubber seal from the inside to the outside. It'll eventually come out as you work arond the window.


getting it in...get some thin string ($2 clothes line rope from coles) and loop it through the groove in the rubber seal.....get some soapy water and lube up the rubber seal....place the window against and simply pull the rubber seal through using the string, starting at one side and work around the window until you have come full circle (so to speak).

Taping sounds good. Was going to try this weekend, too much rain. Will give it a go next weekend.

when you are taping it make sure you allow an extra ml around the edge of the rubber and tuck it in behind it slightly so the rubber is completely covered.
