You would need to get a steak knife to cut the rubber on the side closest to the pass and driver doors. (Just a little break through slice)
Then get a thin cutting wire from home depot, put it through that hole you made and make your way around the whole window. It would be easier to explain with pictures, but I hope that helps and you get the concept of what I'm talking about. |

this is probably something best left to a window professional

that is what you need + a long knife. Cut from the interior |

from what i've read the rear windows are bonded to the car w/ a sort of glue. once your remove the plastic body trim from the inside you can see it. you'll have to cut it out either with a tool like posted above or you might just try asking an autoglass place, one by me said thy would do it for 25 bucks if i take out the interior plastic, you can prolly find some shop close to give a simlar or better deal.
hope that helps i'm looking to do this soon too jec -------------------- JN 3:16

Hi guys...jusy to say I will put together a DIY on how to do this asap.
I am in the middle of customising/restoring my celica and giving it a fresh paint job so have removed the quarter windows, drip rail and window trims. I shall get my pics up on a new thread asap. Cheers. |
