help - putting together 2 door e30

[iKst]

Hi,

my E30 has just been repainted and now im trying to put it together. Im stuck with rear sidewindows and their metal frame. Can anyone please tell me how do i put the frame (marked red on pic) around side windows in place. Do i have to put it in before i fit the window or can i just somehow push it in.

Or does nobody understand what i want to do

Think most of it pushes in. Front vertical part is secured by two nuts feo inside.

We couldnt push it in no matter how hard we tried. I know about those 2 nuts, and we managed to get the bottom part in by sliding it in place. But i just cant get the top part to stick in that rubber seal.

I actually removed this bit of trim on a scrapper I was fragging the weekend before last, just to see how it fitted. Remember thinking "that looks a right bas**rd to get back in!"
Use plenty of soap lubricant, or if that doesn't work, silicon grease, which is the most effective lubricant available.
Of course, I may be totally wrong as to how it goes back, as I've never actually done it - just looked at it.

I tried with soap and still no use It is a bas**rd to get back in i guess. I will try with silicon grease, hope that will help.
