Front passenger window glass required
Some utter **** tried TWOCing my 480 the other night.
When all other attempts failed they smashed the passenger side window. Any of you lovely people got one knocking around? As ever I need it fairly urgently to get back on the road. Any leads appreciated.

Re: Front passenger window glass required
Thanks guys,
Hopefully the white 480 at the breakers in Bridlington still has it's passenger window intact. When I rang on Monday morning I was told the car guy was off till Wednesday. Hopefully I can collect it tomorrow as I'm half way there due to work anyway. If not I'll be looking as these other options.

Re: Front passenger window glass required
Thanks for help guys. Turns out the 480 in Bridlington still had it's glass so I'm sorted. I wanted to have a look and see what's left on it but it was a whistle stop tour as I had to get the hire car back for 5pm. Ideally I'd have taken some pics but I'm not sure it's the sort of place that let's you get in there and have look anyway.
According to HBOL replacing the window glass should be fairly simple. Please tell me this true. Anyone done it before? Any tips?

According to the service manual, the window must be inserted diagonally from the inside. You have to remove (and subsquently re-install) the grommet (2) and the bolt (3) of the window guide rail. Then push the guide rail aside.yorkshire480 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 6:05 pmAccording to HBOL replacing the window glass should be fairly simple. Please tell me this true. Anyone done it before?

Make sure the replacement window has the rail (1) attached, otherwise you have to take that from the old window and mount it to the replacement, 205 mm spaced from the side.
Good luck!
Robert.

Re: Front passenger window glass required
i must have done, as winder system went belly up and I have a spare O/S one (with grinder spatter form when contractors at work cut an RSJ with a Stihl saw) but prefer to hang on to it so this will save much 'head scratching' if need to do again. should this be added to the 'how to section' ?yorkshire480 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 03, 2018 6:05 pmThanks for help guys.

Re: Front passenger window glass required
That's fantastic cheers.
A minor point though. That diagram looks like the glass is being inserted from the outside rather from the inside.
The rail's attached so no problem there.

Re: Front passenger window glass required
that would seem sensible given that there is a curve on teh glass and there is wiggle room towards inner skinyorkshire480 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 10:05 pmThat's fantastic cheers.

I think I took the outer seal strip off?

Re: Front passenger window glass required
All done with a minimum of fuss. Thanks again.
The weatherstrip is not in the best condition anymore though. Can anyone recall which of the V series seals you can cut down and make fit?
Am I remembering that right?

Re: Front passenger window glass required
pretty sure it was the S40 / V50 but I think the pre 2007/2008 versions, the C30 is different and I 'assume' the later models are the same?

Re: Front passenger window glass required
I think it's the S40 as well - the outer skin of the door is a little thicker than ours, so a narrow strip of bodge tape added to the door will make it a snug fit.
