Ok, its time to fit those rear window frames on my SWB GQ thats been hanging in my garage for over a year.
Now, I know I should fit it myself (with a mate) and save the $$$.
But I also know that, when it comes to fragile shyte, I suck at it.
Ive been quoted $200 to fit the damn things and I supply all the rubbers etc..
Is this a fair price? Or does someone know someone cheaper in Sydney?

without joking, we fitted a rear side frame to my GQ in about 30 mins. Thats cause it was the first time we did it.

Where did they purchase them from as my two rear side rubbers on the '89 maverick are bulging and must be rusted.

Its been that long that, I cant remember who did the bulk ordering and organising to get it delivered to a pick up place in each state.

I went down stairs to check this.
How did you guys that have installed the frames overcome this missing latch?
The old latches are spot welded to the frame.
I wish I spotted this 18+ months ago.

I did mine a couple of weeks ago and its really easy to do...took about 1 hour between 2 people. A bit fiddly getting the rubbers to sit in properly but just use the method on gqpatrol.com.
