Quick Question, Hatchback Windows Options

[gas65]

Has anybody ever replaced the rear side windows in their hatchbacks or the ones in the doors? Just curious how they are held in.

I want to change windows in my car because the previous owner put some crappy tint on the windows and it looks horrible.I have windows in my wrecked Celi I would rather use since it looks 100 times better and I won't have to fork out more money to have it done again.

The door windows look like they might come out by removing 3 screws, or atleast I hope.And the rear side windows look like they have some kind of seal just holding them in.

So if you have removed these windows before, let me know how you did it.I just don't want to break the glass experimenting.

Yes, I was talking about both the door and the quarter glass windows, just could'nt think of what they were called at the time.I've been out in the sun too much today.

I thought the door widows might be held in by screws but wanted to make sure, and the quarter glass I was'nt sure of. I could'nt find anything holding it in except for maybe a seal but you never know, so I figured I would ask before I broke something.

So has anybody ever taken out the quarter glass? Can I get the seals from someplace else besides Toyota?

As far as just removing the tint, it would be easier to just change the windows if possible and cheaper.The 95 GT I'm driving has tint that looks purple and probably had 2 layers on it at sometime because it has marks all over it that make it hard to see out of.I think the proper term for this tint is Kmart tint, or that is what we use to call this kind when I was younger.It is a cheap made tint that turns a purplelish color over the years.My 94 GT that is shown in my sig has good windows and tint, so if it is'nt hard to exchange the windows, why not just do that and save some money.Besides I plan on using my old hatchback lid off my wrecked car, on my new car because the prevoius owner scratched it heavily.

Thanks for the help guys.
