Rear Window Removal...

[Magpie42]

Yo Homecheeses!

Has anyone ever had the pleasure of removing the glass from a K11 tailgate?

I've done the side windows before and they were easy peasy....is the back just as easy (obviously, with disconnecting the heated window a super bonus)....? Or is there something nasty, waiting to catch out the unwary home mechanic?

Thanks in advance for your 1000 responses.

...while that would make for a fun afternoon, doing a 1000-piece Jigsaw of a rear window, I will, sadly, need to return the window to its original position...

Other than that take your time slicing the sealer with thin blade

I take it that the rubber trim just pulls out?
Basically, I just want the trim out of the way for painting...

It would have to be a pretty small brick to take out just the trim...would a 4x2 Lego brick do?
