does any one know if you can remove the rubber that goes around the rear window? and is it easy to do? :confused:

 

Many thanks :D

 

Nick

not easily as it's U shaped and is fitted around the edge of the glass:(

Requires removal of glass, Autoglass did mine earlier this year, cost £74.62

is the glass glued in place like normal cars?

 

Nick

Yes, its bonded in.

bugger it :headvswal .is there a way of taking the seal out without taking the glass out.

 

cheers

Nick

can't see how without splitting it in half

i need to change the one iv got any way,its shrunk.

i would of thought its easier to get one back in,what do you think?

 

Nick

Do you know how much a new seal is?

not sure yet, i will give nissan a ring tomorrow and iv just asked MJP(Mr F) for a price

 

Nick

From MJP:

New rear screen lower moulding £71.88

New rear screen corner tabs (2) £20.89

 

The lower trim is replaceable (i think!) without removing the glass. The upper trim isn't.

Thanks ollie :duffer:

 

i hate talking to the nissan garage on the phone :headvswal :rant:

what you might be able to replace it with is a universal trim. I just bought a second hand tailgate and that's what it's got, although it's not as neat as the Nissan item, it still looks OK :)

Have to agree, Autoglass were able to show me 3 different styles of seal, all pretty close and about a third of the price, I am fussy (read, "mug")though so spent out on the read deal.

The lower trim is replaceable (i think!) without removing the glass. The upper trim isn't.

They also tried to replace it with the glass in place, removal was ok, fitting the new one was impossible without taking the glass right out. Also bare in mind the rear glass can smash while they try to remove it, when my respray was done this happened to me.

does any one know where i can get the universal trim from?

 

cheers

Nick

might be worth contacting bladebloke as I'm sure he can point you in the right direction http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=9481

does anyone could post a picture of the hatch without the rear glass?

 

i'm thinking about installing perspex instead.

Does anyone also know the weight of the glass? or is it heavy?

Glass wont be much heavier than perspex, and perspex scratches easy so would not look good over time

i managed to get some universal window trim for a bargain price of a whole £5, i got it from auto glass. dont tell any one tho. they were'nt supposed to sell any :rofl:

my car is in the body shop at the mo getting the 6 spoiler holes filled in and the rear wiper hole filled in and the boot sprayed. i'l be getting it back on saturday. i dont know what to do with out my zed :cry: :cry:

 

Nick

So Nick, did you manage to put the trim back on without removing the glass?

you can take the trim out without taking the window out but you cant put one back in, i had to put a universal trim back in.
