I'm trying to fit the rear quarterlights (fixed ones) but am struggling!!

Can anyone give me some guidance as the easiest way to do it?

Is it best to fit the rubber to the car and then fit the window into the rubber

or is it best to fit the rubber to the window and then fit it to the car?

Any ideas please?

Thanks Paul C

fit the glass into the rubber, place a piece of string right around the ouside of the rubber, get a helper to offer the glass upto the outside whilst you go inside the car, as you pull the string the rubber should go over the lip in the shell.

Top tip: use some soap/washing up/KY Jelly liquid to help it in :lol: :lol:

I use KY jelly on rubber quite a bit so do class myself as qualified in this field, but before yr mind starts working overtime Maz i'd better explain i think, i use it on my diving dry suit when i put it on.

Thats my story anyway, and i'm sticking to it
