Remove All Windows...

[kleicl]

So i'll be painting my s1 r33 skyline in a month or so.. and going for a respray i have chosen LP2 midnight purple.. i am all ok for taking off all items. but when it comes down to the glass iv been reading on how to take it out.. it seams like its an bugger of a job,, has any one take there glass out, and what things do i need to expect.

OR... > should i get like o'brian or a pro. to come out and take it off it will probs be a week with it out while i prep and spray . then ill need him to come back. has any one done this or got a quote as for PRICE $$$ or will it be cheaper to drive the car there and get it taken out then just put the front window in with tape or is that just asking for trouble.

Any input would be appreciated

thanx guys..

are you paining the car yourself or a panel beater / painter taking care of it?

if you're getting it done professionally they should be able to organise this for you, it's not that expensive i don't think to take them out... about $80 per window from what i last heard, doesn't matter how big or small

if you want to organise painting/window removal/panel beating all at once mate pm me, i'll set you up with something nice, cheap and at awesome quality

cheers,

Andrew

note most people who remove glass will not cover if the glass brakes when they are removing it and putting them back in

[hoony]

^ yeah, i forgot to mention that bit

in that case, it's probably best to get a pro to come to your house like O'Brien's or Novus and they can remove it and leave it somewhere at your garage and then when it comes to the time to putting it back in just give them another call and Bob's ya uncle ey

thanx i just did some ringing and found this.....

O'brien's are $650 thats for taking all glass out exept the door glass (in store) and then a week later putting it all back in (instore) thats excluding nissan front and rear genuine seals just there generic ones...

And a place called Ed Auto Glass is $611 For ALL AT MY Hone. inc.. new front window (take out and put new in...) also my rear and my sides.. with all genuine seals a week later.. it works out cheaper this way because i get a new front window.. lol

does anyone know or have had there car painted.. and can tell me where or who did theres...

thanx guys

boys @ beyond custom do awesome jobs and are well priced

Between $550 and $600 is about what you'll get the two quarters and rear removed and refit, plus the front windscreen supplied and fitted for, not including genuine nissan mouldings, if you want them. As mentioned though, glass is glass, hence we NEVER guarantee it'll come out without breaking, and you'll be up for a lot more. That said, I've removed somewhere in the thousands of glasses and only broken 4, so professionals definately have much better odds than a home job.

what ever happened to taping up the windows, i rekon it would be a damn side easier than taking them out, unless you're doing your car inside and out

[PhilKenSebben]

Because taping them up is dodgy. Aside from the fact that the rear quarters are encapsulated and touch the paint, hence you will always be able the see the edge line, you will find that if there is any place you'll get rust in your car, it's behind the window moulds. Water can get in there, but takes a long time to dry out, and why paint your whole car if you don't even know if rust will start coming through in 6 months time. Do it once and do it right. Unless you genuinely don't have the money, in which case a cheap re-spray is a long way off the best way to spend what little you have.
