Subject: Re: LG45 Door Window Glass Replacement
Hi Mark
I have my doors apart at the moment, now at the stage where all necessary repairs have been made to the frames but await re-assembly as I am busy with other stuff, you are welcome to come and see me one day and pick over my car then you will see exactly what you are letting yourself in for...there is an internal timber support screwed to the ash door frame which carries the window winder assembly and when this is removed the door will be weak if the corner joints are not very good ( which is likely, particularly at the bottom) Changing the glass could easily escalate into rebuilding the door frame / re-skinning the door if the doors are original state. The corner joints will almost certainly have let go ...
Mine are nearly ready to re-assemble now but it has taken a lot of hours to do a proper job!
Quarter light is easy once you get the rest apart.
Can't comment on the glass as mine was ok but I thought it was toughened glass rather than laminate...not sure now will take a look later.
Call me if you want to come take a look or chat about it
Cheers
Bill
