Anyone change their window seals? It looks to be one piece around the rear glass and hoes up to the front. Can this be done without removing the quarter glass? Anyone have the part numbers for the seals?

 

theres a thread on here somewere that a guy who had a shop in atlanta did a full repaint to lime green color on a 996tt. he went down to the bare metal all new seals. if you can find it he would likely be the best source for how to and part #

 

From memory the quarter glass unbolts and then u can remove the seal.The interior quarter trim needs to come out along with the seatbelt attachment and a-pillar trim in order to get to the quarter glass bolts.

 

No, It cannot be done without removing the 1/4 glass as the glass sits inside the seal. Its not an easy job, I have just finished doing one on my car. The 1/4 glass is indeed bolted in from the inside but the trim is riveted on. As you said, it is one piece from front to rear. You will need to remove the glass and drill out all 20 something rivets that hold the trim on. Then, the worst part for me was getting the glass back inside the new trim without tearing the trim up. You have to basically press the glass into the trim all while making sure the little spacer for the glass stays at the bottom. It can be done but it is not quick and easy.

Thanks
