    Pop out window removal?

    Hey guys I need to remove my pop out windows to finish the shadowline project on my car. Can someone who has done this before let me know what I have to do?

    Look on the inside of the B pillar-you will see a plastic cap towards the bottom of the window. Remove that cap and you will have access to an 8mm nut. Remove the phillips head screw on the coat hanger hook, and pull the coat hanger hook out-it is in there very tight, but it will come out. You can now access and remove the upper 8mm nut. Lastly, remove the phillips head screw where the vent handle attaches to the rear of the glass. Once it and the 2 8mm nuts are removed, the entire assembly pulls straight out.

      Just to add - on those 8mm nuts -

      if you've got a nut driver or socket or something with a magnetized tip on the end, it will help you greatly since you don't wanna drop the nut down the pillar post like I did. Then you have to remove the door panel and go fishing for it! :roll:
