Changing Bootlid Glass

[Charge]

How hard is it to remove the Bootlid glass and fit a different one? And if it's easy, what tools and what else do I need?

Thanks.

Not too difficult. You need to push the seal over the lip that holds it in place, from the inside. Once you've got it started, continue around the glass pushing the seal out. Once you're about 2/3 of the way round, the glass should pull off.

I'm sure there's some clever plastic tool that may be able to help you, but I'm hard and northern, so used my fingers

I'm told the hard part is re-fitting it.... You need some string and loop it round the rubber and tease it back in...

Dare some someone else will give you a better idea!!

Are there any places that would do it for me? Or is that too specialised. I don't want to go breaking some glass.

Most Glass places or bodyshops!!

its really easy especially the rear screen. I use a screw driver but a plastic wedge will do. Push the seal over the inner lip. Once you get going its pretty easy, with a little pressue it will pop out when you have done about two thirds. To get it back in get some cord into the seal and cross it over then put the bottom edge in and pull the cord from the inside. Get some one to put a little pressure on it from the outside. Job done!!

Sounds pretty easy but I am confused by what you mean when you say cork? Like.. how?

oakgreengolf didnt write cork he wrote cord aka string 
as stated start in a corner and use something to lift the rubber over the lip and then its a case of working your way round and your window is out then the cord/string sits in the slot in the window rubber then you put the window back in by pulling the cord to pull the seal back over the lip 
if your removing your bootlid take the glass out first as it is easier then trying to remove it once the bootlid is removed

I could have a crack at it I suppose! And if not, bodyshop it is!
