Re: How do the rear estate windows come out?
They are bonded in, real tricky to get out i would imagine, could try a heat gun to warm it up, then try and get some thin wire between it and with the help of a friend work it like a saw all the way round. im breaking an estate at the minute, you are quite welcome to come and take one out of mine if like.
Edit* just seen that your in plymouth

Re: How do the rear estate windows come out?
Next week i was going to be doing a straight swap for another 406, but the other one was a 2.1td but with a busted engine mount, so the other guy was getting a fully working car and i was getting a new toy which needed a little bit of work.....
And then some tit does my window in ...
I have been given a sign from on high, a higher power has confirmed that i must go forward with my plans.
Ring around the local yards and nobody is currently breaking an estate, I hit ebay and find somebody breaking a 406 estate and it's still there!
I drive to the yard and find the car, spend an hour cutting the window out (there's a shitload of glue on these buggers!).
I have a little nose around the car for any other goodies that could be useful...
It's a 2.1! after a quick yap, it's a 2.1 with a blown headgasket, so the engine isn't getting sold and i can rip bits off it, including the engine mount!
If i didn't have a broken window, i wouldn't be looking for window, if it wasn't looking for a window, i wouldn't have found the car, if i hadn't found the car, i wouldn't have got the engine mount.
IT'S A SIGN, i must have the 2.1 !!!!

Re: How do the rear estate windows come out?
That's what I thought when I got my 2.1 estate, "I must have it!" 7 months on and I still love it, even with it's little niggles that keep me on my toes. It really goes when you want it too, and still returns a good MPG figure, even around town.
