How do you take the front passenger and driver windows out of a 3dr hatch?
Im in the middle of tinting my car and cant work it out...

The windows are manual, not electric :|

Cheers!

To remove either the quarter glass for main window you will need to remove the door card, lower the window to the bottom, remove the 10mm bolt in the door behind were the door card was and the 2 philips screws in the top of the door. then remove the strip between the 2 pieces of glass and the quarter light can be removed. If its the other window you need to remove will need to drill the rivets of the mechanism were it is attached to the door so you can slide if of the glass.

Hope that makes sense.

Actually incorrect. I have found that this is one of the few errors within haynes manuals - It states (in my copy at least) that removal of the windows is done without removing the front quarter glass. I have tried this a few times and can say this method is definately impossible.
