LDUNKZ18 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Can anyone tell me if the quarter glass is bonded in or bolted in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Dont know for sure, re rear, get it done properly, should cost no more than £50 out and in. Edited March 19, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippychip123 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 A window guy will get the rear screen out easy but you'll need a new trim, and apparently they don't make pattern ones! and a genuine from Nissan is about £110 if I remember right, also the guy that did my rear screen refused to do the quarters as the rubber surround is moulded to the glass and very difficult to get out without damaging. I managed to get them out myself with a sharp flat scraper under the trim but it was quite tricky and time consuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDUNKZ18 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 when you say trim what do you mean? the rubber around the glass or plastic trim on the inside of the tailgate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The rubber is OEM and never comes off tidy. Just leave it in. Any great painter should be good at masking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippychip123 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yes sorry by trim I mean the rubber/plastic on the outside, as has been said above it rarely come off usable! I was going for a change in colour and my painter wasn't happy painting around the seals, he would have if just blowing over with the same colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDUNKZ18 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 zzzebaby- yeah any good painter should be able to mask it but thats not the point, maybe I'm just fussy but when its a complete change of colour i'd rather take the window out and have it all cleaned behind the glass and fresh paint put down on it.. and it looks like the rubber is fairly hard, i've not tried yet to see if trim tape will work on it.. if worse comes to worse i'll just fine line mask it.... I've mask much harder things in the past. yeah chippychip my point exactly- most painters will want windows out etc when doing a change of colour. when the z was painted white by previous owner he didnt mask it well so unless i can get the paint off the edge of the rubber i will removed the window and just get a new rubber... like i say im fussy and being a painter having paint on a seal or rubber really grinds my gears.

lmc Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 When i had a front screen taken out on my previous car they did say that its at your own risk as they cat gurantee it wont break so just make sure they will take responsibility if it breaks.

P15UL T Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 On my my car the painter leaves the front screen in but removes the seal around it. The rear gets fully removed and the two small side windows get masked up. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
