Removing Qtr Glass Panel R33

[br3ndan]

Hey Guys,

Im after some direction on how to take out the rear qtr window on a r33 gts t series 1.5 (1995)

Im replacing seals on my car mainly as its a 1995 model and its probably a good thing to do and i personally think little things like this is what makes a great car.

So just wondering how do i pop out the rear qtr window?

Also any ideas on obtaining orginal nissan seals? North side nissan? or should i just go to a window shop and get generic ones? I would assume the generic ones would do the job as well as the original.. however if the orginal seals arent priced through the roof i will purchase them.

Cheers for the help guys (again),

Brendan

I've never done it, but you need to take the seal out with the window or it becomes useless.

I would never get generic window seals. Your best bet would be to buy replacement quarter windows with the seals attached. I have one that was left over on our Project car if you are struggling to find one, as getting them out cleanly with the seals in tact can be quite tricky.

how much are u after for it?

What I paid for it, $70 plus shipping.

1/4 windows are removed from the inside, they are glued on like any window and the outer black area is from memory part of the window structure - to remove you pull out all the interior trim near it, then with a 90 degree blade, cut the window sealant from the inside between the body and the glass.

How much did you purchase the seals for? Do u actually cut the old seals? is that why they cant be re used? (Just out of curiosity as the whole point of taking the window out is to replace them. lol.)

and what did u use to glue them back in? I would like to avoid changing the window has my car is tinted which means i need to get that area re tinted again...

tint should not be affected, unless you slip

front and rear seals would be replaced as by now they are hard and get destroyed when removing them. i used BA falcon generic on mine, looks great.

Side quarter glass as i mentioned is normally 1 piece with the metal surround and the glass. seal on them is just the sealant holding them in place.

I used a sharp blade when i did myn pretty easy, just wait till you have to remove frount and back windscreens thats when the fun begins
