How to Lower the Saloon Rear Windows Fully

Hi Chaps,

Need to replace the felt seals on the rear windows, I am going to replace the outer felts with the more modern ones that touch the glass. I have had a feel around in the door mechanism but can`t seem to find the "stop" that prevents the window from winding down fully.

Please, Please dont tell me that the only way is to remove the glass :cry:

Anyone done this recently?

Richard

There is a stop, well there should be. But even removing that doesn't allow the window to drop fully. The curve of the wheelarch makes it a physical impossibility. Frame off job I'm afraid...

I was able to fit mine without doing this. I lowered the window, removed the inside one first, and then removed the original outer. i was then able ti fit the new one with a bit of fiddling.

the new clips are bigger and the last one can be an absolute b*****er but I didn't remove the glass either
