My 300TD has been defiled!!! Need help with window replacement
Thanks to the local jackass that decided to redistribute my meager wealth through the broken rear window of my '83 300TD, I now have a window to replace before it starts raining every day for 6 months (I live in western Oregon).
So, anybody replaced this window in an old TD, and if so, got any insights on how to get it back in? I have the window and two of the rubber gaskets it's set in, but cramming it back into the hole it came out of doesn't seem to be working.... |

It looks like you mean the non-opening 'vent' pane in the rear door. If so, you'll need to pull the door-panel, then remove the roll-down glass and it's rear rubber-channel and channel-bar to install the new fixed-glass and gasket. There's a philips screw hidden under the rubber window channel at the top end of the channel-bar. Lower part of the channel-bar is bolted inside the upper part of the door. Once the bar is out, the new pane and gasket slides rearward into place and is secured by the channel-bar. Happy Motoring, Mark

Doesn't your insurance cover vandalism?
In SC, by law auto glass is covered with no deductable, as long as you have comprehensive. I would check with your insurance company just to make sure. |

Thanks Mark- that's exactly what I was expecting to hear, but hoping there was some quickie fix that wasn't obvious to me (there often is; a lot of things aren't obvious to me). I'll give it a whirl- rain isn't due for a few more weeks....
saludos, randy |
