After that put in some new rear quarter windows, that i filled and repainted to look like new. These replaced the perished rubber on the old windows, the result is a 1000 X better looking car, can't believe how much of a difference it has made, also repainted the rest of the trim around the windows which helps it. :)

what did you use to paint the trim mate, and also to fill it, im very interested!

I just gave them a quick sand and clean, then taped the window off and used some filler primer on it, sanded that a back, then used satin black. almost matched in perfectly, ill try get a photo soon.

Thanks man, that's really helpful, like a 320grit or 180 grit paper?

I didn't have any before photo's, but i just sat the old window on top of the new one, you get the same idea. I got some old spare windows off of a mate who happened to have some, so i fixed those ones up, then swapped them over, in case i stuffed it up, hence why i still have the ones which were originally on my car.
