Has anyone had one out, to see how far around the back the plastic trim wraps?
I'm workshopping the idea of removal/refit to the nearside one during the major repair process. It looks like the angled knife could slice it out fairly well from the back but want to be sure.

With any luck citroenxm will see this and answer. IIRC he has done this on an XM recently.

Re: Xantia Estate / Break Quarter Window Removal
Long ago I have taken this pic in a scrapyard. I hope it gives some clue about how the window is fixed and helps you in planning the window removal job.

Re: Xantia Estate / Break Quarter Window Removal
Hi Adam..
I surely have removed a Fixed rear quater XM glass, from BOTH sides of a Hatch XM..
However, some points Adam. Id not cut one out of a car that Im gonna fix one back in.. This is due to the marks made to the outer paint work when cutting out the glass..
The items I used was Two Handle Grips, and Cheese Type wire, but it took some time! Watch when cutting, if you come across any metal work while cutting it snaps the wire.
These are ALL I used to do it...

Re: Xantia Estate / Break Quarter Window Removal
The bonding is that tough i do not find the pull knife strong enough or good enough to dig in. The only way however the heat in your country may contribute to softening the bond which might help.
