Thread: Remove / refit rear sliding window

if it is the same as the wagon rear sliding windows, you'll need to remove the frame and mullion before you can take the glass out.

Convert it to a Series back... never have to worry again......

Or buy Grommet off me....

and you'd do that how ????

But its not the same as a station wagon.....

Pull the rubber strip off the outside, drill the rivets out then (can't remember which) either unscrew or drill out the rivets holding the two halves together.

Glass should have fallen out by this stage - CRASH

If you've got the EPC look at the parts drawings

Any trick to pulling the rubber off ? (and refitting)

What rivets will I need to put it back together ? I have a common garden variety hand riveter at home for odd jobs etc - will this be up to the task ?

I can't remember 100% of what's involved, so I maybe talking about the wrong thing here, but I think I used a screwdriver and to patiently push the rubber back on... and used a small blade driver to slowly pry it out, then pulled it off...

I remember I did mine with a supercheap hand riveter... not too hard, but my hand was tired/sore at the end due to the poor quality of the pop-gun... and my soft office hands

It's an easy job, just don't get impatient with it... and be prepared to damage a few internal trim retaining plugs... I broke about 3 of them getting the trim off...

Find the joind and simple pull gently. It's flanged so putting it back in is a matter of easing the edges in under the lip. Careful putting the corners back in and don't stretch it as it goes back (or it will be too long).

Rivet size is.. runs to tool box at backdoor... 5.3 - I'm sure that's they one's I used.

As for the hand riveter, that's all I used, but the first one I bought was a real cheapie (Warrior) and only lasted 5 rivets before the jaws gave out, got a Spears and Jackson, UK one and its done several dozen rivets now. I also Sikaflex'd the window back in as a weather seal, but that makes it very hard to remove a second time

Just remember I did this on a D'fer 110's rear side windows, there may be a few differences.
