on a mk4, and mk3, Escort, the fixed (non-opening) rear quarter glass (and for that matter, the heated rear screen) are all fitted the same as the front, so all the above applies mate The rear quarter glass is probably the easiest to get out tbh, as it is the smallest, and being toughened glass, it is quite strong (far easier to break a rear screen than a rear quarter) but be advised - it will give you NO warning when it is about the let go, and when it does let go, it fucking goes off like a bomb Personlly, I sit in the back seat, and waering a cut proof glove (normal welders type gloves will do fine) just press some pressure against the glass with my hand. The removal process is the same as the screen, start at the top, work to both top corners, lift out from the outside. Only other tip I can think of is : on the outside of the car, put half a doszen strips of masking tape over the glass and the surrounding quarter panel - leaving enough slack for the glass to "pop" out... This means if you push to hard and it does actually pop out, it won't fall on the floor and smash while you sit there and cry about being all carefull and wasting 20mins for nothing Also stops it sliding down the paintwork and scratching it, which helps when doing a rear screen

No no no no no no no no no - I HATE it when someone asks you to fit a new rubber! They are tight as FUCK to fir with the new screen and there is a much higher chance of cracking the new screen with a new rubber as it is harder and not "formed" into the shape of the screen/car like the original. And I cannot see any reason why people should need to cut the original rubber to remove the windscreen, especially when the screen is broken. Maybe it's cos it's my job and am trained, but I have never had a problem removing a screen and rubber from an Escort (or Fiesta, Pug 205, Golf, etc) without braking the screen or tearing the rubber. Sure there is a risk, but it is very slight.....
