3 door quarter window removal

[Wayne]

Really dont fancy that! May try it when the weather gets better. What specialist tools are required? Thought I would have been able to just dig out all the sealant on the inside, have the missus ready to catch (I can that going horribly wrong!!) and pushing it out. Fitting would be the reverse as the saying goes! Obviously suction pads (or whatever they're called) to hold the window would be better, but surely not essential!?

They use cheese wire to cut the sealant  but it is still better left to a pro

Think I can improvise there!

You can use cheese wire or similar or you can buy a proper tool off of ebay. You can also buy the bonding stuff on ebay. Some of the perspex window suppliers sell it. You will need to buy the etching primer for the metal surface and the primer for the glass. Some of the tubes of bonder come with this.
As said you will have to be very careful with the outside rubber bit.
Remember the window is heavy it would be wise to pad the floor.
Also remember you will need to hold the window onto the car while the bonder sets. It is quick though so you won't be stuck there for ages.

Might have been tempted to get the professionals in if mine wasn't having perspex windows put in.

Are you sure you will get rid of the rust properly and make all this worthwhile?

Most of the bonding kits advise leaving the car for 24hrs before using it.

Thanks for the advice. I will get a proper bonding kit then. I have some kururst, a grinder with sanding pads, and some wet and dry with various grits so I plan to do it all properly, and I'm pretty confident I can remove the rust from the affected area. When I put the window back in I will give the bonding the proper time to cure also. I may as well find out how much it will cost me to get it done professionally, as if it's not to expensive it will give me piece of mind but thanks for all your help guys
