Anybody got any advice on how to remover rear window properly ? with out breaking it to replace with polycarbonate one.

from the car or the hinge

i havnt done a rear window yet but i guess its the same as the front, stuck on with mastic
all i did with the front was get a strip of thin sheet steel, gave it a grinding on the edge to give it a bit of a surated edge, i cut a bit out of the mastic with a knife and finished it off with the strip wearing a decent pair of gloves
thats how i did it but im sure theres a better way than that
the factory manual says to use piano wire

i have a polycarbonate rear window on mine. I smashed out the glass one and hacked the mastic off with a knife, and that wasnt too easy, id be very impressed if you got it out without breaking it

were did you get the polycarbonate rear window,i got the side ones for my rally car but thought the rear was not available.

Do a search for cheese wire on eBay.
A set of handles and some wire will cut through bonded screens.
That's how the pro's do it.

i want to get a polycarbonate rear window aswell

plastics4performance

the site wont work when i try going on it

acw plastics in bristol

guys name is tony 07977231876

damn sight cheaper than plasticsforperformance,cost me approx £130 for front and rear perspex

holy fuck they are way cheaper

that was what i paid back in jan/feb this year,might be a little bit more now and you can get anti scratch for a bit more also,not sure whether he does the tailgate yet though

tell him i sent you,might get it a bit cheaper.he does most of the cars on the grid in my series

Typhoon,

How do these windows stand up to yellowing? Like the idea of them but always worried that thay can become discoloured over time. Not a prob for a track car but on a road car that would look nasty.

Thanks

well mine havent started to do anything like that but then it spends most of its life inside a workshop,maybe you can ask the guy who makes them,im sure he will have a better idea than me
