Re: [T3] Engine Removal and Window Seals

["neil verdon" <neil@nverdon.freeserve.co.uk>]

get some 3 core electrical flex or something of similar diameter and get
inside the car push it in behind the rubber lip holding your glass in feed
it in all the way around then with a helper the glass will just push from
the inside out (where gloves mind at this point ) you can leave the crome
trim in to do this to as it is becomming scarce to get hold off putting the
glass in is the reverse of the procedur i find sliightly thinner cord or
flex better feed it around the rubber seal twice this time lay the glass in
place with a helper gently pushing against it and pull the cord /flex over
the frame if you miss a bit dont worry when you got all the way round cause
you wrapped it twice you gett a second crack.
