Okay, lots of frustrating updates.
As you know i recieved the new window clamps last night, i then proceeded to try and fit them to the car.
You can see here where the old clip had broken.
I spent about 20 minutes trying to free the rest off the clip by cutting the old glue with a blade but this wasnt working so i had to rip the dremel out once again and cut the old one down the middle like so
(Groovy shed carpet)
Once all that was done i spent some time cleaning the window to perfection, then lined up the new clips (without gluing them on just yet)
Fit the window to the regulator and put the window up to make sure all fits well.
In the process bending the regulator and snapping the nylon bush on one of the arms which must of already been on its way out as the regulator hadnt even struggled.
And WHY? you may asked this happened.
Because the new clips are an incorrect fit so when the window goes up they touch another part of the regulator putting strain on the system.
So now i need
-A new glass (with clips attached)
-A new Regulator
-The re tint
luckily as i am in the trade the regulator is only $70, The glass only $95 and the retint $40.
The Regulator is already in my possession and the glass is on its way.
lesson: The cheap way usually becomes the expensive way :doh:
