Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im getting ready to re-spray my hilux and theres a little bit of rust under the rubber trims around the front and rear windscreens.

I've never removed windows before and was just wondering if anyone had any tips or pictures that could help in this process?

Cheers, HTH

BFH

the hilux in ur display pic? pull ur dash out and get some rope, bout 8mm or so round, pri up the rubber from the windscreen surround and put the rope under there,the rubber will now be sitting off the surround.
Once u have done this all the way around, grab a mate to hold the windscreen in from the outside while u push it out from the inside.
Start in a corner and slowly work ur way around, it ill evently just pop out,(hopefully against ur freinds hands so it doesnt drop! ).
If u have any small cracks or chips in ur window, u have to be super carfull as it will MOST likely crack.
U can repeat the same to put the window back in, rope under the rubber, sit it back in the surround and have a mate push on the edge of the window as u slowly pull the rope out.

I was amazed how easily a mate pushed out my GQ front screen
when doing similar rust repairs

the windscreen guy put the new one in

cheers

sounds like a mish..

thanks for the quick replies

i got some thinking to do

Two size 13's does it for me.. Haven't broken one while removing yet.

a second later when it slides down the bonnet, thru the bullbar and onto the ground... thats when it breaks

I have to do this at some stage as well.

I removed the rear window of a lux no problems just by pushing the rubber lip from the inside to the out starting in the corner and working my way around with a mate on the outside to hold it.

That's where a blanket on the bonnet comes in or a mate to catch it.

if yah got NRMA insurance just pay the little extra for windscreen coverage and take it out with a hammer!
