HKS Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I tried searching on the forums but to no avail. I am looking to remove the glass from the rear 1/4 window as the rubber seal is cracking. Is there a specific way to pull apart the metal frame away from the inner seal and glass? I attempted prying out the rubber piece by piece between the glass and frame but its going to take forever. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

HKS Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm reffering to the 1/4 window on the sedans not the rear glass Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Check the thread, do 1/4 windows stay open at speed Put removing 1/4 windows in search look on page 2 Quote Link to comment
HKS Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was able to figure it out. Thanks Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was able to figure it out. Thanks Please share how you did it. The seal that holds the glass to the frame has not been available for many years. Are you replacing it with an aftermarket seal? Whose replacement seal are you using? A how to would be helpful to all. Thanks, David Quote Link to comment
HKS Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I hope to do a step by step when the seal come in. Its not vehicle specific but should be pretty close. Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 You never said how it came apart though... :rofl: As I recall, there are a few screws holding the metal frame together that are hidden under the outside seal? Quote Link to comment
Ryan Family 510 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I would also like to know how to get the frame apart . I have pulled the little screws out but I can't make any progress getting the frame apart. Also, saw a web page on another post that sells the rubber. When I find it again ill post it Quote Link to comment

May even have to cut the old seal to get it apart. Quote Link to comment
Ryan Family 510 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 http://www.datsunlandsocal.com/ Here is a link to a site for window rubber. I have not ordered anything from them. If someone has, let us know how the quality is. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have not ordered anything from them. If someone has, let us know how the quality is. I have bought a few pieces from them. The seals looked really good, but I didn't live with it long term so I hesitate to recommend it just yet. Most of the aftermarket seals I've used seem to mainly have problems with UV exposure. So on a garage kept car they will last a lot longer. Quote Link to comment

Ryan Family 510 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks freak. Since our 510 is just a shell and I destroyed all the rubber removing the windows I will have to replace everything. When I'm ready I'll just order 1 item and go from there and report back. I may also tackle my 1/4s this weekend and take some pictures and post them. I have a feeling this will be frustrating so I'll be sure to stock up on coors light before I start. 2 Quote Link to comment
Ryan Family 510 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 massive amounts of wd40 and lots of razor blade cuts finally got the frame apart and window out. Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Most people don't. Painting the rubber with a satin black auto paint works wonders to make it look good. Quote Link to comment
