1999 S70 T5 - replacing quarter panel glass

Post by kallekula »

So, I locked my car and the battery went dead. Keys nowhere to find. In desperation to get to my work papers I decided to smash the least expensive window. That is what I thought at the moment but now I'm starting to regret this a lot.
How do you get this window out? Please I will love answers since im on on a very tight budget...

Ouch. Better to call a service than busting stuff. Good luck.

In my humble opinion this is work best left for pros. The good news is in The OC you don't get rain....

Ouch! The least expensive for DIY is one of the door windows that go up and down.
