You'd most likely be better off taking the glass to a fitter, buying the sealant and getting a cutter to get the old one out will probably set you back a few quid.

Plus there is always the chance you'll mess it up. :undecided:

thanks for your advice jimble. as far as im aware the rear quarter isnt bonded it fits in the door seal. very fiddly but doable. cheers anyway
