I bought some lexan windows off of ebay for my crx. I was wondering how do you take the stock glass windows out. just the small side windows and the small rear hatch window. The side ones seem like they would be alot easier than the small rear hatch window. Any help would be appreciated thx!

 

i tried many different ways... my suggestion would be to get inside and knock the window out with a hammer to get most of the glass to fall to the outside of the car, maybe strip the rear before doing so its easier to clean up the glass... thats how i got my windshield, rear side windows, and rear hatch window out, but i had no interior so cleaning up the glass was no problem, for the door windows you need to take off the door interior pieces and then roll your window about midway up until you can see the 4-5 bolts that hold the door on the lifting mechanism.. unbold the bolts then pull the window up... im me if you have any questions, i dunno how clear i was on those directions

 

I'm lucky I already have my interior stripped out. I was hoping I didn't have to break the windows. Does anyone know of any other way to get them out? Thx for your reply!

 

have you checked the helm manual?

 

there is a cutting tool that they sell at harbor frieght. ITs like 5-10 dollars trust me it will be the easiest thing u ever done. pm if u want me any more info.

GOOD LUCK.

 

just use the proper tools and it will be a cinch.

If you want to go ghetto, string a piano wire through from the interior, and pull it back and forth like a saw to cut the weather stripping rubber.. This will require a friends help, and may damage the paint on the outside, if you aren't careful.

 

i think the newer the car the easier, on my 85 there was nothing we could do but break them out

 

all you have to do is take the weather stripping off from the out side, then make some room with a screw driver do it slow take your time,when you have enough room to stick some thick fishing line betweeen the the outside of the window to the inside of the window, then you just run the line all around the window to get the glue off between the window and the car then you can just push the window from the inside out it will come right out with some help...

I hope I make sense..... If I don't I think you could figure it out???? maybe

 

thx for all your help guys. I'm actually going to harbor freight tomorrow to buy a welder so I'll check into that tool you're talking about.

 

it's called windshield removing tool #32908 . trust me works like a chram.
