anyone have an Idea on how to do this?

I have massive scratch marks on my window that apparently cant be buffed out because it will shatter. If anyone has got this done how much did they pay and if they did it them selfs how much work is involved?

Hey man!

Its caused by the a few sponges, which is suppost to allow the window to slide up and down smoothly but as time goes the sponges turn hard and become hard dried up brisle brushes which leads to scratching.

I have not removed my window before but I have had to change my electric window mechanisim which requires fiddling around with the window.

Remove the iner door panel and you will see the window mechanisim, the one that allows the window to go up and down lead by metal wire.

There is an attachment or hinge and the window is bolted to that.

Un bolt it and slide the window out.

You could take it to your mechanic or take it to O'Briens windscreens and they could replace the window for you.

hey, its actually not as hard as it looks. first time around took me about an hour. now it takes about 20 mins.

its much easier to do with the door off (taking the door off and putting it back on is a bitch) but it is doable with it still on the car.

basically, take the door trim off and then take the plastic thing off. there are two gold nuts at the top of the door and two at the bottom of the door. this takes the whole window and motor mechanism thing off. once you get that off, you can get to the bolts that hold the window onto the motor mechanism thing. then you can slide the window out the top of the door.

note: be careful that you don't drop the window into the door

hope that helps

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.
