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

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
