Replacing Passenger Side Glass Window (Front)

[steveharman]

Hi,

 

I need to replace the broken glass in my front passenger side door - the main part, not the small quarterlight.

 

Can anyone comment as to how straightforward this is likely to be please?

 

In the past I've stripped down a Megane door, removed the glass and replaced the electric window mechanism... But I had a Haynes manual for that, at the time. :-)

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

If you use your insurance to cover the side window replacement you may find the excess to pay is not as much as for the windscreen (usually £75), plus it will not affect your no claims.

 

The Haynes manual covers removing the door glass and it seems straight forward - remove the door card/loudspeaker/plastic sealing sheet (new needed since it is cut out but duct tape may fix it), put the window about three quarters down, depress the tab on the window regulator lifting channel and lift the glass free from the support, lower the glass at the front and remove it from the outside of the door frame.

 

I have put your car details as your signature to save you telling us what it is whenever you start a topic or leaving us to guess.

Fantastic information, thanks Paul.

 

I'll try the insurance co. first and see what they say but if not, it's a project for Saturday.

 

Cheers,
