Anyone know how to remove the fixed rear side windows on a Touring?
Specifically, what bits of the black outside trim have to be removed, and how do they come off?
I have some serious looking rust bubbling out from under the trim on one of my Tourings.

I think they are stuck on. I tried to remove the trim in a scrapped car and it proved to be very difficult and i ended up breaking the whole lot to get it off, i was only testing so i didnt really care.

I've found that the bottom piece comes off my sliding it forwards. Broke one clip finding out this, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knew before I do more damage.
I would be surprised if they are stuck on, as one of the best things about working on E30s, is that most things are removeable ( and replaceable ) without damage, if you know how.

I remember reading somewhere that those windows and the windscreen are bonded in to add to the torsional strength of the car. Not that thats any help but i know the screens a bitch to get back in.
