Anyone changed a rear door 'quarter' window before?...

The 'little' fixed window on the back door - anyone changed one?!

Dealer have quoted me £400 to replace, so I'm going to just buy the glass and give it a bash myself! Assuming this will require all the door trim stripping - anyone done the job before, and how was it?!

about an hours job pretty simple door panel off ( screws behind long alluminium trim and door pull handle ) then i think 3 screws holding upright trim on pull seal out and then remove the glass easy!!

Went to a breakers earlier where they had a door off an e90, and removing the back quarter window looked like a nightmare! (I watched them try and remove the one I was going to buy)

Removing the door card was simple - just a few torx bolts in the armrest, but the actual quarter glass was bonded in - doesn't look like a DIYjob at all, so I'm going to have to get a garage to do this unfortunately
