    Refitting rear side window surrounds?

    Hi,

    I have a 2 door E30 saloon and removed all the exterior trim for a respray.
    Everything is now back on the car apart from the rear side window surrounds.

    These are held onto the door pillar by 2 bolts but seem to just be squeezed into the rubber channel around the window.

    Has anyone any advice about fitting these as I'm having trouble getting them back onto the car?

    Thanks,
    Hugh

    take off windows with seals. refit surrounds. put lubed wire or rope 1,5 turns into groove what holds seals on car body. put window on car and let somebody gently push on it. go into car and gently start to pull wire or rope out. seal starts to take into position. crappy explanation but maybe someone can explain better way

    Ahh - I know exactly what you mean - you know I it didn't actually cross my mind to take the window out but it makes sense

    Thanks,
    Hugh
