Last night somone broke into my 96 323f gxi and smashed the rear passenger door window and quarter panel.

I have another 323f breaking im going to try to take the glass from this evening and was wondering has anyone any advice on removing the small quarter glass panel, hopfully without braking it.

I assume its glued from the outside in and would need to be reglued back into place on the other car.

Cheers for any replies

I'd publicly express the sheer depth of my anger on your behalf but I'd break the forum expletives filter (having had the same thing happen to my previous car years ago - not an F, though similar type of window breakage, ultimately the car was broken into four times! Only one quarter window though, thank god)

You could try contacting forum user "marshybob": if I remember correctly he had a broken quarter window a while back, here's the thread (last page: be warned, the thread is photo-heavy). It looks like he's removed a few posts, he only mentions it in passing now on the last page, or the issue might have been on separate thread, if you search.

if I remember correctly he also had a donor window, but found it quite a pain to sort out.

Hope you can sort it

When I broke my old wrecked BA I tried to remove the rear quarter windows without success. This bearing in mind that I could have destroyed the shell to get it out. The very best of luck.

Did you get the window out OK? Only I saw a window removal tool in a parts store the other day!

I know this is like 8 months later but it might help someone else with a similar problem
