Re: [T3] rear window popouts


I pulled a set of pop out windows out of a Squareback a while back. there
were no screws on the hinge side, only on the thumb screw side. The hinges
consisted of a cupped shape piece of rubber that inserted over a bracket on
the glass side and that inserted into a slot on the door post.
