How to Remove Car Glass?
2 Answers
Locate and remove the hidden bolts, release the clips, boldly detach the door trim panel, adjust the window, remove the glass fixing bolts, and take out the glass. Find a thin wire, remove the glass, clean off the old sealant, evenly apply new sealant, and install the glass. When removing, take off the sealing rubber ring together. Generally, you can only purchase the assembly when buying glass, so just follow the reverse steps of removal for installation.
I used to work at an auto repair shop for a while, and removing car windows requires professional tools. First, you need to remove the door interior panel to expose the mounting slots and rails that secure the glass. Use specialized tools to unscrew the mounting bolts, then slowly pull the glass outward using suction cups. Pay special attention to the rubber seals around the edges of the glass—don’t yank them hard; instead, use plastic pry tools to gently loosen them bit by bit. During removal, two people must cooperate—one to hold the glass and the other to operate the tools—otherwise, the glass can easily crack. After removing the glass, check if the rails are deformed and clean any residual adhesive strips, or else the new glass installation may result in wind or water leaks. I think regular car owners shouldn’t attempt this themselves; it’s more reliable to spend around 200 yuan for professional removal at a repair shop.
