has anyone replaced a quarter panel (hatch) window? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey all, I just purchased my first 240sx, it's a 1992 black hatchback. One problem with it is that the passenger side quarter panel window is busted. I found one at a local junkyard for $35 but I haven't gone down there to remove it yet. I was wondering how difficult they are to remove and install and any helpful hints if you have them.

Thanks!

Torch, piano wire, and a prayer.

And $504 for new glass when you realize you've destroyed the moulding.

I figured it was a separate part!
