Default Replacing Escort rear windows

Have anyone in here done this???

Is it still a proper EscCos if I do it??? I am just really tired of rusty caps/nut.

yes Steve.. I know and so are the grommets in the window, og dead easy to change, but I am not happy with the rusty water down the window, and comes back even when I brush the nuts before refit the caps. Now I think of doing the replacement cause it should be sp easy... fit and forget

Thanks

my car?

yes everything taken out, all damping material and so on as well.

yes the normal 3 rd escort rear windows will fit, as well as the complete doors.

I m thinking to get polycarbonate rear windows.

not really through as i m looking for a possible supplier and prices.

paint the bolts with a spray primer, that will stop them rusting, and put a little bit of sealant/ jointing compound on the back, the non hard setting stuff, that will A) stop the bolts rusting, and B) stop water getting in and causing corrosion, which then stops rusty water running down your window
