Quarter window removal

[Magic36]

Hi guys, finally got myself a caddy today, will do a post once ive got a few photos.

When it was delivered I noticed the quarter window rubbers are trashed I'm sure it wasn't like it when I viewed the van two weeks ago but the dealer is saying it was. So nothing I really feel I can do as there's no proof

Anyway.... Anyone know how to remove the windows and where I may find the replacement seals? I've read that there's 3 bolts beind the trim, is this right?

It's a 16 plate, mk4 ( I think )

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks

Where you can see the vents, this section pulls upwards. Then I think you need to pull a pillar covers off and you'll see the 3 bolts for the window

Great, thanks @ViralEye

Now just to find the replacement seals! I'm thinking vw direct or tps, if they do this kind of thing

I think it's a complete quarter window you need, I don't think the seal comes off.
VW parts desk will be your best bet.

Great, thanks so much @Doc. Failing that I'll see if a local breakers has anything I'm glad that at least it won't cost me having to get autoglass etc out

Hardest part will be putting the A pillar trims back on

Start at the bottom of the door side, then the long edge up the door side, finally the windscreen edge starting at the top
Look through the glass to check the pins are lined up and push on, look at it through the windscreen so you can then see all the clips to line up.

Pictures not that clear but are the seals trashed? Or is that just some sort of black glass sealant all over them? Looks to me like somebody has had those windows out and slapped a load of sealer all over them as I can see bits on the white paint. Maybe they were previously leaking.

Thanks for the advice @Beaker2135 I'll try and not rush it then! I was quite worried about removing them too. Are the clips easily breakable when taking them off?

The photos are pretty poor quality @Barbel330. It's definitely trashed The van was wrapped in blue before and I think they've used a heat gun to remove it. On the plus side a lot of the paintwork is mint.... On the downside there is still a lot of blue around the badges, edges of windows etc that needs to be removed carefully. I'm pretty sure they've used a chisel to try and remove it from inside the fuel filler I'll post photos once the monsoon subsides

Here's the part numbers.
It looks like someone has made a mess of removing the wrap, maybe the windows have been out to fit the wrap but they didn't bother when removing it.

Thanks @Doc that's great. I'll give my local vw a ring today and see if they can get any and try and squeeze some discount Yeah they have done a shocker of a job! I was told it was ex lease so my assumption is they buy cheap, get a numpty to tear off the wrap and sell on quick. Honestly I'd rather have done it myself than deal with the mess
