Window removal
What's the easiest way to remove the glass and seal intact, I want to smash them or cut the seal but the seals are good and windows well can be sold on.
Any advice would be most appreciated cheers all

Re: Windw removal
Rear side windows seal will lift, is it case of leverage and pressure

Re: Windw removal
That depends on if they are original windows or a panel van jobby.....Original ones...From the inside starting at the top, use a screw driver to push the seal the other side of the panel/steelwork, mind you don't slip till you can feel the window becoming loose then just wiggle/lift out.. Panel vans ones...remove the bead on the outside of the seal then do the same as above...thats how we take them out anyways

I used the tyre levers for my mountain bike, less chance of causing damage than a screwdriver.

Re: Windw removal
The front screen is the most awkward. If you need to do it I'll tell you how.

Hopefully it's one of the big old X1 heaters and not one of the girly newer ones

Re: Window removal
Double glazing? Can I ask how that works then? Can you buy replacment windows from somewhere?
Pictures are always welcome for jobs like this, would be great to see what you did and how.

Re: Window removal
Weldore,
What pictures do you require?
I put my new girlie size propex under the RnR seat, it's a no brainer of an installation.
Just two large holes for the propex intake and exhaust, a hole for the hot air feed duct and wiring.
If you want pictures of it just shout.
