Urs4 advant rear quarter windows removal

[diesel des]

As title really. How do you remove and replace these windows. I want to touch up some paint in that area and want the windows out. Anyone done it??

It's going to be basically the same as a B4 avant (and probably much like the S2 coupe fixed side glass). There are trim strips and rivets involved, as shown below:

I can't see the picture you posted. So the rivets need removed behind trim inside the car?

Try now. There is an issue with Manage Attachments today. I initially uploaded the image via Manage Attachments and then linked to the URL of the attachment. I see now that the thumbnail from the upload did NOT show up. This is the same issue as Mr. Simmons and his Ragusa RS2 photos. Not his fault. S2Forum issue.

Hi Des,

Have a look at Eric's S2 Avant thread, it covers how he did the B4 Avant 'rear' windows.

Better than tackling it 'blind'.

Eric's S2 link shows the bonding and cutting through it. C4 will be the same.

Yes, they are definitely bonded in. You have to cut out the window before you can access the rivets holding on the trim.

I plan to do a full respray/color change on my Avant and will be removing all the trim prior. I will switch from bright to black trim at that time as well.
