locked my keys in the car lastnight and had to smash the rear pas window.

does anyone know how to fit them?


thanks,andy

 

on what? smash the quarter ligh or main door window?

Door window is often cheaper although it's a bigger piece of glass

 

xr2i,the rear quarter.i bought one today for Ł11.50 in pic up spares.few of my mates said use string but there must be an easer way.any ideas?

 

no, just put the string in the lip in the rubber giving a little overlap at the bottom, then hold the lot up to the gap and slowly pull the string. You will find that the rubber pulls itself over the metal lip and basically just carefully pull the string till it's all in.

You can at times give the glass a little slap with the palm of your hand to help ease it in if need.

Piece of piss mate, should take about 1 min!

Edit: If it's a fairly big piece of glass then make a loop in the string on all 4 edges of the glass, enough for you to pull on, then pull on the straight edge of the glass before trying to pull the corners in

 

so do i do this with the rubber on the windo and ease it onto the car lip,or do fit the rubber to the car then fit the window?

 

on the window first mate then string it in.

Like i said, make loops in the string to give you something to tug.

I'll see if i can find a yotube vid, dunno about posting links though if it's allowed.

 

nice 1 mate.ill have a look aswell and ill meet you back here.lol

 

couldn't find much mate, honestly it's really not hard (but then things never are if you know how to do things!) Don't forget to put the string inside the hole and not try to string it in by pulling the string from the outside lol!

 

dident find much myself.thanks anyway.lol,nice 1 mate

 

just another thing.do u know what relay is for the horn?

 

I would put grease on the string first, as if you pull too hard it may snap, with grease it makes it so much easier, I have para cord(from a parachute) as this is slippy stuff and nice and strong.
