Bought some lexan windows for xmas and i cannot fathom how to remove the fixed rear windows in my 2 door. Googling it mentioned there are two 8mm hex nuts on the inside, i have removed one which is half way down the centre door pillar but think the other is behind the roll cage :-( at the top of the pillar, can someone confirm and i cannot figure out how it is held in a the rear end, tried realoem and thats no more help.

Any help from someone who knows exactly where the fixings are would be gratefully received, thanks

the top one is behind the small hook thing right at the top of the pillar !

then it's just a matter of folding / prising the rubber seal back

Once the two nuts have been removed you just need to get on the inside and put the boot in, but make sure you have some one on the outside to catch the window 8O

I followed this wiki guide when fitting my rear pop outs
