Removing Side Rear Windows

Post by JokerCooper »

Hi Guys,

The old girl is about to go in for her full body respray but before she does I want to remove the rear side windows as I'm going to have the 'chrome' strips around the windows polished.

I've removed the front side chrome trims and I've been told the best way to remove the rear ones is to remove the window completely and then dismantle from there.

Can somebody explain how I remove the rear side windows please?

Thanks
David.

Hi guys,

No, their not the opening kind unfortunately. Do I have to remove the rear door cards for access?

The guys that I'm using to polish them are called Broadway Brass in Small Heath, Birmingham. I've had a look at the work they produce and its of a high standard and their reasonably priced too.

Thanks Topcat but I'll try and get my polished up.

Cheers
