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 :P 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. :P 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.

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
