rear door (poly) windows fitted today ! if anyone tells you there easy to fit there lieing ! getting out the old windows and mechs with out a switch is not easy ! the front windows were easy enough, didnt have the window switches so just touched two wires together to lower the window to get to the vice bracket that holds the window to the mech, tried the same method with the back windows but it was having nun of it, so i couldnt lower the windows,  i cut the inner door away and and pulled the mech and motor down off the window, once metal,motor and mech was out the way the window is then pulled down into the door out of the runners on either side then back up (not in the runners) then leaned inside the door frame and she was out ,not a hard job to do but if its the first time youve tackled this it will be tricky and you probly wont know the best way to get the window,mech,motor out....

Easy way is to lower the window and then unbolt the quater light.

thats the point im trying to make i couldnt lower the window as i sold the switches with the door cards ! unbolt the quater  light ?

Yep look up in the top corner with the window down and you will see one bolt / screw the other is inside the door card.

Don't think it should drop to be honest could a thermostat issue

They are not expensive, GSF or ECP should have one.
