For a new rubber you go to pub toilets and stick a quid in the machine . . . Lol

Seriously though, I think you can use the old window rubber one. Iv see people sell them on here.

Yeah they're reusable. Question is how did you take it off?? I've been at the scrappy, found a heated front windscreen, and cut the rubber

you can buy them new for around £28 from most small or independant windscreen repair companies, the larger companies charge around £80, but tbh, check the old one for splits inside the rubber, if its ok, re use it

It is actually. Get a 2 inch filling knife (filling knife is important, they're slightly bendier than scrapers) and use these like the tyre removers for a bike tyre. It's attached slightly backwards to a cycle tyre but it's the same method.

So basically it's the same as taking all 3 back windows out in 3dr then?
Peel and push the rubber over the lip on the inside, and when enough of the window is poking out you can just grab it from the outside and wiggle it out

I would definitely suggest a second person when taking out a screen in one piece though.
