Rear window removal
Looked through the search but cannot find the info i'm looking for
How do you go about removing the rear windows (side and rear hatch) without breaking the windows or cutting the rubbers?
Can this be done? I really wanted to primer the car then use it whilst i get ready for the final stages…
Don't really want to buy new rubbers as mine are pretty good.
can anyone help?
Much appreciated!

Well, they came out quite easily i'd say… with the aid of ten flat blade screwdrivers…

No Worries bud,
Putting them back in should be a bit easier.
Nylon twine and liquid sillicone.
Wrap the twine around the seal with the glass in place.
Crossing the 2 ends in the middle of the bottom seal.
Lower the bottom part of the seal into the frame, with the edges either side of the metal frame.
Have someone push on the glass as you uncross the twine and pull the twine out, it should fold the seal around the opening edges.
Eventually the twine should come out and your glass and seals should be in place.
That's 2 beers Lol only kiding….

Compared to the price of the window rubbers @ bigboystoys i think two beers is a bargain!!

This link no longer works. I'm in the same position of needing to remove the tail window and disconnecting the heated element of the window
Thank you
