Hi, I own a 2005 white Scion tC and am new to the site. I was wondering if someone could explain how to remove the two back windows from my car?

thanks in advance

 

I see fail coming from this thread. Curious on why you want to remove the rear windows in your car.

 

well my black trim/weather stripping around the windows is really....well....weathered haha. I want to repaint with the windows removed

 

I work at an auto glass shop, so I say if you have to ask, you won't be able to do it. They are glued in with a urethane based glue, you need to cut the bead with some special tools, can be hard without breaking the glass. Leave it to the professionals.

 

with a hammer.

 

yeah removing windos such as though or the windshield is not something the average joe should be messing around with because then your going to have to pay someone anyways to put it back in for you

 

buy some Mother's Back to Black or Meguiar's Gold Class trim detailer coating.

It'll look better and cost less...I have a daily driven '05 too, so I understand your issue.

stuff works wonders. It doesn't last more than 2 weeks, but it's good.

 

Throw a brick at the window... Usually comes out quick

 

I'm having the same issue with my 05, anyone know how much it would cost to replace the trim by a professional of course

 

the trim is one with the glass. the best way to have these removed is at an autoglass shop. make sure all interior panels are removed before you take your car into a shop. i own my own auto glass shop here in so cal. get it done right....

 

ok i thought this would be the case (must be profesionally done). someone had told me that it was held by clips and led me to believe i may be able to do it myself. thanks for the good info

 

any idea on the pricing it would cost to get the trim replaced?

 

it's about $100 just for the part... labor cost.. i'd expect about the same amount.

 

If I get it replaced, is there anyway to prevent it from happening again?

 

you need to replace the whole glass because trim and glass are one...the are bonded

 

this happend to me on my 1992 sentra se-r. all i did was clean it good and also put that "armor all" but they no longer sell it
