Hiya,

As per title, wondering if anyone could put a ballpark time to how long it would take to change all the rear glass from the B pillar backwards on an estate.
Reason being, ive totalled up the cost of "things that need doing" on my car & it comes to about £450. Seen another Omega estate which i reckon would go for about the same - its newer & less miles + shed load of history but doesn't have the factory tinted glass fitted from the B pillar. So easier to change glass or get windoes tinted??

Any advice much appreciated fellas

...... but doesn't have the factory tinted glass fitted from the B pillar.  .....

All Omegas have factory tinted glass don't they?  :-? :-? :-? And AFAIK none had heavy tint 'privacy glass' fitted at the factory.  :-/ :-/ :-/

My mistake, i meant to say privacy glass. Mine has the privacy glass, the one i'm looking at doesn't.

Pretty sure that's been fitted since your car left Russelheim  It'd be easier to have tinted film fitted to the 'new' car

i'd say don't bother 'cos you'll look like a tit

Fair enough, cheers for the straight answer! Think I'll leave it..........

[2woody]

sorry - I'd had a really tuff day

Don't worry fella, no offence taken

Would not take that long rear wind up windows easy rear 1/4 ease out being carefull not to break. just the rears which would need cutting out as bonded

Are the rears not the same as a Carlton (Omega A) remove interior trim and there is a series of (I think) 10 mm nuts to undo. I don't think they're bonded but I stand to be corrected of course.

[tambrath]

i think just the heated rear bonded

Didn't happen in the end fellas. The car i was going to buy i let go, same colour estate with 60K less miles and 3 yrs younger but mis-firing (coil pack?). Wish i had gone for it.....sold for £325

Cheers for all the advice anyhow
