Hey all - not looked in here for a while as my Accord Tourer has been behaving itself recently (other than power steering hose leak, cooler replacement and new radiator last week)
Today, whilst blatting down a dual carriageway - massive "Bang" like a shotgun and my drivers side passenger window shattered into a thousand pieces! Nothing was overtaking me, so it was either something thrown across from the opposite carriageway or "something mysterious". Anyhow, dog in back was OK and I limped the last few miles home.
I have stripped down the door just now (door card off) and have vacuumed out all the glass from within the door.
What I would like to know is - has anyone replaced a passenger glass/window?
Is there any special way of getting it into the aperture?
Also is anyone aware of any difference in passenger windows between facelift and pre-facelift MK7 Accord tourer?
I can pick one up from a breakers tomorrow but I need to get the glass back in and sorted pronto as have a lot of miles to do tomorrow, so need to get it right first time!!!!
Any tips, tricks, pitfalls, pointers etc would be very much appreciated
