Upper (fixed) window glass removal
 

So I got a replacement door for my SVX, but it's maroon (not sure if it's Claret or Bordeaux though) and so of course the tint color is wrong. Is the fixed portion of the window a pain in the %$@# to get off? I'm sure it can't be any worse than a windshield... Gotta swap that plus the movable portion of the window from my door and paint it...

Different tint? I thought Bordeaux and Claret both came with bronze tint. It is a pain in the @#$% to change. Mine was loose on the Ebony '92 and I couldn't find a glass shop that would touch it. Fixed it myself.

Look here for the procedure from the SVX service manuals. Start at about page 30.

This manual covers removal and replacement of every piece of glass on the SVX.

Clarets and Bordeauxs both have the same bronze tint.

He's saying the replacement door is either bordeaux or claret. His car is pearl and therefore has blue glass...

Just saw his sig.

Probably more cost-effective and less hassle to find another door with the correct tint and avoid the problem of repaint.. There have to be a few out there...

I'm going to repaint the whole car, most likely in Toyota Blizzard Pearl (brighter than the Subaru color) and paint the roof in the WRX black pearl, but that's down the road after I fix the body damage :-P
