145 rear side windows
 
Hi again!
The rear side windows on my 145 have got a slight rust start under the rubbers. Ideally I would like to nip this in the bud before it gets any worse by popping the windows out along with there seals. Now I know that they most definitely are not just going to pop out but does anyone know how to get them out and how difficult it is?
Cheers
Tony

Do you have the older model with the vent windows? They simply unscrew. The fixed window is just pushing outwards. Gently, slowly. Don't let it drop when it comes loose. Start at a side.
Getting them in is with the rope trick.

Thanks Rob, that sounds straight forward enough, I'll be taking a look this coming weekend.

Just a thought, is it possible to get new seals anymore for the 145's, that goes for all window scrapers and seals really.

Cheers

new rubbers
 
I noticed yours is a '73, think those rubbers are still available afaik. Newer 240 rubbers should also fit. Might be a different look though.
