to remove the window you need to cut it out, either with a knife or with wire, then with the glass out you cut off all remaining bond bead with a razor blade, then clean and de-grease, the prime with the primer supplied with glass bonding kits, the bond back in, if ya lucky you might be able to save the rubber.

removing the rear side windows is a nightmare, the stickerflex used to bond them in is VERY tight, took me 2 hours to do it properly


i agree with that, i gave up in the end

How do you remove and replace the bonding material? Is this difficult to do?

the window is being removed on a friends corsa to repair the rear quarter panel.. no criminal activities involved!!!

I had my corsa broken into while i watched, i asked him to do it, had locked keys in car well the alarm locks itself and my key happened to be inthere, scary took him 5 seconds max.
Locked me key in 4 times now and just break in every time takes me a few minutes though need practice
