Removing rear window

I've just been down to my spray shop who are getting my car ready for a respray. They have told me that the company they're using to remove the windows want to charge a fee of £200 to remove the rear window

Does anybody know of a company in the southeast that do this sort of thing?

If that's to remove and refit, with new trim it's not a bad price at all.

Am I missing something, whats so hard about removing the rear window?

It, and it's trim, is bonded in, it's a risky business getting one out intact, with the heated screen connections undamaged. The trim is nearly always scrapped, so you have to buy a new trim when refitting it. AFAIK the rear quarter glass trim is only available with a new glass, so removing those entails buying new glass, but i may be wrong, I don't touch bodywork at all.

I'm not sure to be honest. I've just popped down there and the impression I got was that it was expensive (I guess they use these people a lot) I think what they're worried about is that if the window breaks then it will cost them around £1,500 to replace and import.

Me neither, good thing to note as I'm replacing the rear hatch with a carbon un pretty soon, I'll just get the perspex from Mr wiffin at the same time, and keep my original intact in storage!

is that really much the rear window costs?

Probably get the window cheaper from a salvage motor. I think they are pricing from having it Imported?

£1500 for a window is just silly isint it

Almost as silly as £800+ for a new doorcard.

I had a new, oem rear window fitted when mine was randomly smashed, cost my insurace company £570.
