Default FAO chummer - guide to fit rear 1/4s

hi chummer, heres the pics for the rear quarters...

ull begin with this



first take off the c piller and b piller plastic panels (the ones which have the front seatbelt and rear seat belts on) then you need to get the existing quarters out...easily done...just use your foot or get someone to push the window out from the inside while your gently easing the rubber out with a screw driver or something...its harder to explain than it actually is doing

ull be left with this





next put the rubbers into the window frame



then bring the new window into place...you may want a friend to help at this point as it can get tricky...line up the rear bracket first into the 2 holes that are already drilled for you



then line up the front two...you may or maynot have holes drilled there already...if you dont...then line up the window while someone is still holding the window from the outside and then drill 2 holes...one per hinge



screw everything down...and there you have it

right, the ones on the c pillar were these

and they came with my rear brackets...the ones on the b pillar are just normal selftap screws..

if you have difficulties getting the screws just use self taps mate...its the easiest way

about the screw cap...ask paul r if he's giving some away...he is stripping all the interior out of his S1...but im not too sure if he'll give those bits away

I'll just nick some bolts and screws from work then lol Cheers mate.

Oh yeah also how do you tighten up the bolts that go through the glass did you just thread a bolt into the end of it and use a spanner

whatever you do dont take the caps off on the outside of the glass...one of mine aint sat properly ever since while the window is out...put the brakets onto it and hand tight them from the INSIDE screws...line up the window and then when everything is screwed into place and the window is on...tighten them a little more as they are pretty hard to do as the outer and inner part can spin (still will be tight though so no worries about them falling out )
