Hello. This is my first time on here. Looks good. I have a 1989 250D. Great car but some swine smashed the reat quarter light and rifled through the glove compartment.
I've ordered a second had glass from Mercman but doea any one know how to go about fitting it? Any advice much appreaciated.

I will check on the procedure for you if u still need it , from memory u need to remove the inner door panel release the rear door window and remove the upright window channel, the qtr. light rubber needs to be checked for glass pieces and cleaned, slide the new one in and replace the upright channel..washing up lquid or hand cleaner..without the grit... will act as a good lubricant to get tight rubbers or glass to fit home properly..

Haynes manual tells you how to get the glass out, there is a rather fiddly clip on the lift mechanism that holds the glass to the lift, there are screws and bolts on the vertical rail which hold it in, the outer seal along the door top needs to come off first.
