Shocking mate, scumbags, clearly kids by the sound of it, as if they were older it would have been for your ice

Is it far from where you live? As I'd be concerned that the little no marks have your house keys, and it's close to Christmas, worst time for burglaries :(

That's shocking Mr. B. Are you sure that's not someone who is just jealous of your car and wanted to ruin it as if they wanted to steal stuff there were much better options available then only the interior light?

So off to work fitting it....

 

Removed door card and was told by my mechanic it is possible to fit without removing the main window so this is how i did it...

 

Pictures are after removing but make it clearer to see how to

 

Remove Window Winder..  Pic shows clip you need to shift to pull it off

You Need A Medium Sized Cross Head Screwdriver

Then The Door Handle A Smaller Cross Head Screwdriver And Then Slide To The Left Carefully

Pull Back The Rubber Seal At Top To Reveal Hiiden 8mm Nut

Now Push Centre Bar All The Way To Bottom Of Door (its tight but it does go)

Bottom Of Centre Bar

Now push The Weather Strip As Indicated In Pic Or Centre Bar Will Still Be In The Way (be gentle not to break the clips i did not thankfully)

Then pull out old broken window and ding it LOL

 

It is awkward to get the new one in requires a bit of fiddling and then pulling the rubber over the inside part of the door but it does go

 

I Would Suggest You Heat The Rubber Seal Of The New Window With A Hair Dryer Before Fitting. (i did not as it was raining and i needed to do it in a hurry so i messed my rubber up visually a little bit but still water tight)

Ensure that the centre bar is still on the window inside the door and facing the correct way at the top when fitting new window

Then refit window seal at top slide the centre bar back up into place and refit in reverse..

 

And You Get This

Twenty Mins Later However

Although this method worked and had i used a hairdryer i prob would not of made the inside rubber look untidy if you have time i would remove the main window and then it just slides into place
