Finally got my car back from Autoglass with a new rear window seal, they charged £75 for removal and refitting of the rear screen but most importantly they did the job without a single scratch to the tint or bodywork so I am happy with that.

Very nice. Mine's gotta have that done once the tailgate is sprayed which should be happening right this second.

Si, I bought all new clips for this to be done but they didnt need to use 2 of them, I have no idea where they go but if you want them they are yours. Nissan part number is 72714-81S01, they will sit on my desk till I bin them if not.

Autoglass, thats national firm isnt it, (I need mine done)

How many clips is needed in total then? cheers

There are 4 clips along the top and 2 at the bottom, the ones at the bottom they didnt use, I have the part numbers and prices for the clips I purchased if you want them. Autoglass are a national firm and the local smaller companies in this area quoted the same price.

Clips at the bottom????

 

I've been told also that the glass doesn't have to come out for the seal to be refitted.

Did you replace the top seal as well? As the window needs to be taken out for that, so I'm guessing you replaced that too.

Yes, I had to do the top seal as well, from what I can make out there is a clip in each corner at the bottom which is out of sight and you would only be able to get at if the glass was removed. If your just doing the bottom part it should be possible without removal of glass.

That's cool. I had thought about replacing the two corner peices. Just for neatness. Can they be done without having to remove the glass?

The top 2 corners pieces came already attached to the top seal which I couldnt work out as they were listed as seperate parts. :confused: . I would have to say no its not possible to do without glass removal and replacement of the complete top trim.

You can buy the trim tabs seperately. But looks like they are clipped onto that top peice before fitting screen....I've kinda answered my own question I think! LOL

I didnt want to muck about with the top trim and risk breaking the corner pieces so just handed it all over to Autoglass, I am still in therapy after paying out so much money for something that must cost a fiver to produce and ship out.

I know, that seal is pricey, the top one even more so.

 

I'm just having the new bottom seal pressed in, so things should be fine.

Here you go....

 

 

 

Hope that is of use to someone..... :)

Or these...
