Hi guys, managed to get some pop out windows for to replace my fixed rear windows on my coupe. Is there a guide available for the conversion? How the hell do you screw the latch in to the rear quater panel, are there any wholes already pre-drilled?
Spent all nite searching the forums for an answer, but the only link to the guides that appear no longer work. Any one that can help, I would greatly appreciate it! I want to do this on saturday but dont want to be left with no rear windows!
Cheers
Pop out window guide, please help:)

i did write a report on this subject after i fitted mine about 8-9 months ago.
yes, there are holes already pre-drilled, but the speed clips for the self-tapping screws are not there, so you need to carefully peel back the headlining from the side-window (once the window and rubber have been removed) to fit the clips (fiddly).
p.s. repost this in "Technical Help" rare
