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.

The quarter windows are sealed in so forget about exchanging them, it can be done only professionally. I do not suggest you exchange front windows either because you can easily break something and its quite difficult to ajust the position of the glass.

My opinion is to get a blade and remove the film mebrane from all windows as is. There should be a lot of glue residue on the windows after you do that but you can take care of this with some gas on a cloth and wipe the glue off.

I know this because i have installed plenty of times tis mebrane on many cars. The info for the windows is personal experience from repairing my totalled GT4 when i replaced the whole roof and then i paid like $400 installation fees for the windshield and two quarter windows.
