I picked up the new glass in the week, so the plan was to fit some of it this weekend. I put the rear quarter in when I took the glass in there that night, and I decided to get the rear screen down to compare the tint. I pushed it out on Saturday and carefully lifted the rear screen down from where it had sat in the roof for the last two years. I didn’t want to risk cracking the glass so I got the new seal out and fitted it before resting it on the car. Not sure if it’s on the right way round but it’s not fitted yet so it doesn’t matter too much. With the car safely back in the garage i started to carefully bend the fur channels into shape. It’s harder to do than it looks, and I managed to get one side perfect and the other at a slightly different angle.<\/p>\n

Not the end of the world, just annoying. I had pinched an old inner tube from the garage across the road from work so cut a strip to put in the glass channel to hold it tight. It’s a tight fit to get the new glass in at the back, but after a bit of careful moving about I got it in place and tested the window. Worked perfectly, so screwed the channel in place and had a go at the front. This all went a bit wrong when I kinked the channel, but I managed to straighten it back out and work from the other end to hide the damage. I popped the vent in temporarily too and there it was, one side glazed. Apart from the window winder mechanism being badly worn it’s all good. <\/p>\n
