R32 Gtr Rear Quarter Window Removal

[Sol32]

Hey guys

Ive decided to replace my rear quarter windows after smearing them with some oil covered rag, now unable to get the streaks off. They must be permanently embedded in the glass. Anyway, Ive got to this point:

Can anyone point me further? The workshop manual seems to skip this step! Does it just pry off from here, or are there screws I cant see?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

If the 32's window is anything like the 180's, there will be some sort of clips holding on the glass with the glue. You'll definitely need a heat gun. I think you'll be able to get access to these clips when you get the the bare shell behind the glass edge.

Sorry I can't help any further. Only reason being that you'll want to keep the glass in good condition and when I took mine out, the window was smashed so didn't care about it. I just ripped and heated everything out.

Actually I dont mind if the glass is damaged on removal, as im replacing it Im thinking i have to slice through the urethane sealant and just yank it?

The seal is REALLY strong. It won't be easy to just yank on it and the glass will come out. Took awhile for it to come out. Just kept heating the seal, cut through, heat up again, cut, etc. Took ages. The seal was really strong. Couldn't slice through it easy at all.

Let me know how you go man. With my glass, it was all shattered so I just left the bits stuck on the seal and cleaned up the seal like that (no big pieces of glass in the way) so it wasn't too bad. Just a lot of slicing, heating.
