Has any one or would any one know how to remove the rear quarter windows without damaging the rubbers?

Thanks Peoples, I really need help on this one as the people who sprayed my car didn't remove the rear quarter windows (still charged me for it though) and when I questioned them due to the crappy paint edge they said the windows cannot be removed without breaking the rubbers.

Has any one had their car sprayed and had the rear quarter windows removed? Could you please ask your paint shop?!?!? :(

i think Joel means the exterior rubbers, the ones that can be seen on the outside. I think its the same with most cars Joel, u have to F**k it to get it out, and repalce with a new one.....bite the bullet and buy a new ones u cheap skate :D

If you saw the photo's of his new paint job, he means the quater windows.

The rubbers on them stay attached to the glass when you remove them.

The rear screen is different

To buy the genuine rubbers cost about $250.

I had a windscreen company fit a new aftermarket rubber for about $20.

looks good aswell.

I've gave nissan a buzz.

The rear quarter windows cannot be seperated from the rubbers, the windows are around $400-$500 each. The left one being more expensive than the right ($75 from memory)

So its glued and has to be cut, thanks darrinspencer.

I'll have to pop through a windscreen joint and see what they can do.

Viscount,

Yep nothing but troubles. :D

I'm dropping the car off to them again on Monday.

The assessors are going to be there.

I've noticed quite a few parts under the paint that has lots of cross hatches.. looks wierd. Almost like crows feet.

My spare tyre well filled up with water.

The damn rear lights are now leaking really bad.

When will it end.. :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
