Bend over or ........

For me, sit in the engine compartment and of course remove the right engine cover. Don't forget to double clamp everything.

Thanks

I removed the rear quarter windows to make tasks as these much easier.

It also makes cleaning the corners of the rear window a breeze. Those would be a a royal pain without the windows out.

Sorry for all the questions, how do I take them out?

thanks again

I don't see anything in the Tech manual, how do those 1/4 windows come out?

thanks

Hi John,

The rear quarter windows are held in by a rubber flap over a short piece of body metal surrounding the entire window opening. A small amount of careful prying on the rubber (from inside the engine bay) and pushing on the window will result in the entire assembly moving enough where you can then pull the entire window (gaskets + frame) from the outside.

Keep in mind they're easier to remove than to put back in. So once I pulled mine out, I just left them out.

Also keep in mind the gaskets are no longer available. (At least I couldn't find any). I think I found it easiest when you start from the upper back, the rounded, corner. If you don't like to leave the metal exposed, you can pull the windows out and reinstall the weatherstrip (gasket) and trim. I imagine that would JK did.

I had my door seals out. Behind them are two screws that appear to hold that glass in. My car is very early built and they may have changed, but still look under the seal where the window frame closes against the quarter glass. Before you pry anything

Early cars had small screws under front rubber.

John's car is a '72 and shouldn't have them unless a prior owner installed them.
