    Convert popout windows to fixed

    Has anyone done this? I know the reverse is common. My popouts are leaking like mad and I have access to a fixed rear setup for cheap ($15) with free unused and in bags OEM seals. I dont care about the actual popout feature, I rarely use it. Aside from the glass and seals itself, what else is needed?

      Easy swap.

      You need the external frames (trim), glass and seals. Use a plastic trim spoon to pull the seal up and over the metal lip.

      You will have 4 unused holes in your headliner after you're done, though. So just be aware of that.

        If you end up doing this you should document it, i'm interested in doing this cause they keep wiggling around when i'm driving and making a really annoying sound. ughghh

          The 4 holes from the latch mount? That can be solved, couple of little black screw caps could cover it without looking TOO ghetto
