I've removed a good few side windows from cars now an to be honest its easier just to get someone out it's only 20 euro a window . If ya wanna do it yourself you ll need a window removal kit there about €60 you'll need to get the wire down through the side bit of the window ( part that meets the door ) get that cut, then you'll need to use the angled blade get in the car and cut out all the sealer from inside it's a pain in the hole takes me bout 30 mins per window.

When Yr putting the glass back in degreaser around the edge panel wipe will do then use tiger seal make sure to put a thick beed all way around so it seals everywhere otherwise you'll have leaky windows

thank you people, is it possible to keep the edging around the windows when removing, hoping to put back polycarbonate windows, with the surround if possible??

It should be Ye I'd get a Stanley and slice the bottom were it meets the 1/4 panel. Just slice between the rubber and the window this will also help you in removing the sealant from the bottom of the window. You can just tiger seal it back on then

it sounds rough out but if you are only takeing out the windows to change to poly then get a big hammer and one good slap then the 2 jobs are done at one time windows out and rubbers not damaged 180 windows are worth feck all

is the amount of weight you save by removing them really worth the hassle??
obviously the rear window weighs a ton but i wouldnt think replacing the quarters would save that much weight and the poly stuff doesnt look good imo

I took the 1s out of my car....! I used brake cable off a pushbike it works very well cause it has a bit of an edge on it...! Handy enough...!
