normore1 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 First I would ask why you would want to remove the quarter glass? This is not a simple pop out/pop back in job. You have to remove the inside plastic panels to get at three mounting bolts, then remove the nuts. Next you have to cut the butyl mounting bead. Push a length of strong fishing line or similar material through and work around to seperate the butyl sealant bead. I would guess a new glass would be somewhere about £100. About $100 US when I bout one a few years back. derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 As an aside - how easy is it to replace the rubber that surrounds the external of the glass? Does it just pull off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 As an aside - how easy is it to replace the rubber that surrounds the external of the glass? Does it just pull off? managed to remove glass after spending a good two hours at it the rubber seems to be bonded on the glass itself, so i don't think its possible to remove the external rubber away from the glass.

Suprachargedtt Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 the rubber seems to be bonded on the glass itself, so i don't think its possible to remove the external rubber away from the glass.

I have newer trim around the door meeting some old stuff on the rear qtr. Only a small thing, but really annoys me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 The glass comes with the rubber bonded to it from toyota. I put a hammer through both and clamed on my windscreen insurance. £50 excess and slipped the fitter £20 to come back and refit when i had the car painted idea! And for the best bit! The glass is around £300 ...........EACH! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilsideTT Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hmmmmmmm, i havent paid less than £1500 for my annual insurance premium in the last 3 years for my supra! I think i deserved a couple of quarter windows considering ive never had a claim dont you? £4500 in premiums to insurance companys that havent had to pay out a bean! £600 for two quarter windows Do the math!

Maxx Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 If anyones interested the glass is actually £135 each from Toyota, part numbers are: May93-May95 Hardtop RH 62710-14260 LH 62720-14260 May93-May95 Aerotop RH 62710-14270 LH 62710-14270 May95-July96 Hardtop RH 62710-14261 LH 62720-14261 May95-July96 Aerotop RH 62710-14271 LH 62720-14271 July96 onwards Hardtop RH 62710-14280 LH 62720-14280 July96 onwards Aerotop RH 62710-14290 LH 62720-14290 RoGuE I think these include the plastic trim around the edge so you have to replace the entire window I'm affraid. Hope this is of use to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
