Smashed Side window help please

Post by Commando_Rob » Sat Nov 17, 2018 9:34 pm

As title says I've had my side drivers window smashed. Question is how hard is it to replace the window, I've sourced a replacement window for £30 just looking for a how to but can only find info on window regulators no how to's on replacing just the actual window.

Any tips advice would be greatly appreciated as currently have no window :(

Have you tried your insurance company ? I had a side window smashed and it was covered.

If you use the regulator guide just follow the steps up to the point where you remove the glass

If the regulator is in tact then it's not too bad a job. Easy DIY with a bit of effort

The hard bit is getting all the glass out.
