Cabriolet Rear Window Removal

[Guest silverdales]

I have broken my rear window the plastic on my convetible, I see it unzips and then you undo the 2 screws either side on the boot lid to release the bottom corners - how does it then come away please? -cheers for any info!

Remove the rear parcel shelf and you'll see a retaining bar across the rear of the car, held in with 3 or 4 10mm bolts undo these and remove thebar - the botom vinyl of the window tucks under it.

 

Good source of new rear windows ( I've bought one)

Be aware that there are more than one type of zip at the top, the pitch of the teeth varies and they are not interchangeable. A new zip is included when buying a window but changing this is MUCH more involved - the best part of recovering the roof

Hope it all works out ok - Have you found out the hard way about not dropping the roof in cold weather without helping the window to fold properly - I did

I got another piece of Vybak (the clear plastic) sewn in mine, so the zip was no issue. Cheap aswell.

Did you get that done at a sail / windsurf shop Phil? I might refresh mine
