Rear quarter window removal question

[dltalfa]

I am thinking abut replacing the rear quarter window molding on my 240z. How difficult is the removal and replacemnet of the window,...and the rubber molding?

Also,...can anyone give me the easiest removal instructions?

Pretty easy. There are four small screws that hold the 1/4 window to the body. Just make sure you soak them with a good penetrating oil before you attempt to remove them. You do not want to break or twist them off.

You will have to remove the interior plastic trim panels of course - if they are not already out.

Once you put new rubber seals on the outside of the frames - they will be much harder to push into place on the body. Far easier with two people..

FWIW,

I put some rubber lube on the rubber when pushing the window into the car. Went in a breeze.

If the screws are rusted be very careful when putting back in. Had one twist off at the head with just minor turning. Went to Ace and got new screws.

By the way new rubber is available from Nissan. Get the part# from http://www.carpartsmanual.com/
