I need to remove 1/4 windows from my clubman so I can get painting, how the hell do they come out?

Cheers Ian

Really helpful Allan ....

Undo the two short bolts on the door proper (behind the door card , have a look and you'll see the ones I mean) , then the screws on the outer edge of the window frame . Wind the window down and pull the top of the quater window towards the rear of the door , then lift it out when you can . They are very easy really , only a problem if the screws at the top are rusted .

How about the two bolts in the door ? You wind the window down to get the quater out then you can pull the main window out .

I pulled mine out towards the inside of the window as I found this easier (Clubby) and a bit of a twist and wiggle motion as it came. Also use tape on the metalwork around the top of the window to save the paint.
