VR6 South 0 Posted August 8, 2017 Can these be easily replaced or are they bonded in with the window? I mean the hatch window and not the side windows. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted August 8, 2017 Can these be easily replaced or are they bonded in with the window? I mean the hatch window and not the side windows. Thanks finding them is an issue, as in finding a replacement VW discontinued them & Heritage dont have them ive seen somewhere in the US advertising them but no idea on their fitment or quality - http://www.vintagerubber.com/CorradoRearHatchGlassSeal.aspx AFIK the rear screen rubber is not bonded to the glass, which the rear quarter window rubbers are, & from what ive researched it depends on the skill of the person you use to remove/refit glass as to it they can remove the window & rubber such that it can be reused Pls do let me know your findings as i am preparing for paint on my VR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks. I will have a go tomorrow. I know someone with a spare hatch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted August 8, 2017 I thought they were bonded..... Mine was removed when it went for paint Martin, and it came out and went back in without any damage the same as the screen (although I wish it had been which would have been good for a replacement). I used Erb motors in Copnor behind toys r us, although they outsourced the glass removal and fitting. Did a really neat job so may be worth a call to see who they use if you're struggling mate.

VR6 South 0 Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks Sean. I will see if the seal in the spare hatch can be gently persuaded to come out. I guess it would need to come out to allow the existing glass to be cut out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted August 8, 2017 Definitely bonded in. ..then has a rubber seal that pushes in all around the edge. Good luck and warm it up so it doesn't split as easily. I think I watched a you tube clip on how to remove it first. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STU175 0 Posted August 8, 2017 the trim should come out but be careful not to stretch it as you pull it out using a plastic trim tool. squirting soapy water around the edge sometimes helps run the tool around the trim and see where the trim moves the most and start there. using cutting wire is the best way to remove be careful not to damage heating connectors which are soldered on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted August 10, 2017 Removal of the trim was very straight forward. I managed to start from a top corner by gently pulling the trim from the outer edge, the inner edge came out by itself. Then it was a case of gently and slowly pulling the trim away. Simple job unless the trim has been bonded in after a screen replacement. Hopefully it will be nearly as easy to refit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
