idoari 10 Posted August 20, 2015 Hi, I waned to know if it possible to remove the rubber seal surrounding the rear screen without damaging it. I'm planning a full respray and i want to remove all of the glass from the car. Should i buy new seal or try to remove the old one and reuse it? Thanks Ido Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted August 20, 2015 If you're careful they can be removed and reused but they're cheap and available so it's easier to just get a new one. Also they are not a seal, just a trim piece, the glass is bonded (glued) in place under the 'seal'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theoilburner 7 Posted August 20, 2015 Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Depends how tight the glass has been fitted and if it's been fitted using too much bonding. Usually it's easy to see when a seal has been removed and refitted, just doesn't look right. What I usually do is run a wire under the seal to lift it off the paint then mask it up. Could remove and refit it yourself, tools and bonding is reasonably cheap on eBay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theoilburner 7 Posted August 20, 2015 Does the seal sort of clip in or does it get bonded in? Tia Just sits on the edge of the glass, the glass then sits in a hole (aperture) which stops the seal coming off. No clips or bonding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
