Has anyone on the forum had this problem, replacing a side window of a ADF Defender. These windows are smaller than the normal Civie Defender as illustrated in the attached photo.
To replace the window I have to get the frame out of the side panel in order to get the second piece of glass to use as a template.
The window frame is "H" shaped and the inner side of the "H"daul is rivetted to the side panel. If I drill out the rivetts the frame still doesn't appear that it could be separated.
They look like the rear truck cab windows. If they, are its just a case of drilling the rivets and run some fishing line/ piano wire around the frame to cut any potential sealant.
Carefully push outwards.
The frame then should have a join in the middle of the short section (vertical)with 4 screws holding the halves together with a joiner plate.
Well things have progressed well the window frame is out with no damage done
to either the side panel of the Landrover or the Frame. I have cleaned off all the excess sealant. There are 4 phillips head screws on either vertical side to be undone which should seperate enough to remove the second piece of glass for a template.
James Glass and Glass 4 Classics both said they would be able to cut an excellent "armour /safety" glass copy from the original.
Will keep you all abreast as I complete the task. Cheers.
