The 2 by the door pillar.....First of all the rubber ring goes into the glass then you will have 2 washers that have 4 very small plastic lugs on them they go against the rubber ring on both sides of the glass. On the outer side the captive dome with the threads inside goes through the rubber ring against the washer (use new black caps if you can get some and lightly smear with vaseline). Then on the inside you will have a zinc colour screw that fastens from the inside of the glass into the captive dome.Dont overtighten too much or the plastic washers with lugs can mishape or split. Then once tight enough put the rubber cap over the internal one.

The rear opener is the same except you spin that on rather than using a philips to fasten into the captive dome.

Easy really, just get a mate to help you support the glass

no problem matey!

Another tip incase you are fitting new black caps. I put mine on with ease. Place the new cap onto a car washing sponge with the dome side down and the captive dome onto it so its ready to go in then smack it hard once square on with a rubber mallet or similar,One swift hit and they go straight in otherwise they take fucking ages !!!! Do remember to lightly grease them first as they rot from the inside out.

Good luck

you heard correctly, putting them in a sponge also means the outer painted side doesnt get damaged let me know how you get on mate

F-clamp !!

I fitted the caps first onto the bolt heads (much easier and less of a risk of breaking the glass) then held the caps to stop them turning using suitable tools and protective covering to not damage the cap.
