hey,

ive got this rust area developing under the right hand side of my rear window. ive been told that the rear window must be taken out to fix it properly. now i dont know whether to take the chance of getting professionals take out my rear window and fix it, because ive asked around for some quotes and im happy with the price although theres that slight chance that the window can break when they are removing it. and if it goes wrong im going to need to buy a new rear window. would u guys take the chance? its getting quite big now and i cant get it off my mind. thought id ask some opinions.

some additional information, ill be looking at keeping the car for say another year or so until i can get some money to upgrade.

thanks

stephen

no way. shop around a bit more. if you're taking your car to a panel shop for repairs, those guys know how to remove windows etc. if they break it, they replace it. never heard of them not taking resposibility for their work.

On such an issue, many places WON'T take responsibility for a broken window, but it is a very low chance of it breaking.

And I would be replacing it. If the insurance company can claim its structural, you're stuffed if you have an acco.

    • At least you're now aware of the problem and can come up with a solution. 
    • Dang. Keen for further updates when you get to it.
    • Welcome to SAU Thomas, sounds like you'd had a bit of a an unlucky start with the car, hopefully you get some better luck now!
    • 1. No need, it only gets used once then is locked in place by the nut 2. EN-62 point 6 shows the conical washer the other way around (BTW I know we discussed above, I hope you are changing the idler as well, while it is no guarantee the bearing is a actually bad, it looks terrible) 3. I'm not really clear on the question, are you worried because it was easy, not hard, to remove the custom timing trigger? As long as it doesn't spin on the crank (when the bolt is tight) all good 4. Yeah just make sure the brand is easy to read as it rolls past 5. The part number is on the listing under the description, 13023-42L00. Given there is a custom part on there for timing (presumably outside the cover), they may have decided to leave that off; I think I would put the washer in there as it also helps seal the timing case from crap getting in.
    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
