Note for these steps in relation to the video it is for the passenger side, but the same steps are involved for the driver side as well. Before the install if you are wanting to tint the quarter windows now would be the time, if not we will start the steps for replacing it!

First you will need to remove the rear seat bottom by pushing in and up on each side of the seat

To remove the seat back simply lift up and out

To start the removal of the quarter panel you will need to remove all phillips head retaining screws

Use a plastic pry tool to dislodge the seat belt slot bezel

Carefully remove the upper seat belt trim

Loosen and remove the upper t50 torx bolt. Note: that lower bolt doesn’t have to be removed but we did in the video to give us a little more room.

Remove the rear scuff plate screw and pull out the edge of the interior rear quarter panel from underneath the scuff plate

Dislodge the rear and front clips that retain the metal interior trim piece to the roof of the car. Note: Be careful because this piece is known to bend easily.

Now the hidden phillips head screw can be removed from behind the removed trim piece.

To expose and remove the second phillips screw you will need to dislodge the rear metal trim

Pass the seat belt through the opening in the interior rear quarter panel and remove inner quarter from the car

Dislodge the 2 large push pins that is securing the jute padding to the c pillar

Remove the (7) 3/8” quarter glass retaining nuts

To safety remove the existing quarter window you will need to separate the old butyl. This can be done with a plastic pry tool. Work your way around the quarter glass with the pry tool

Now you can carefully remove the glass from the car by bringing it towards you first then pulling towards the rear of the car to separate the tab underneath the roof rail molding

Now you will need to clean and prep the quarter area by removing the old pieces of large sealer with a plastic scraper

Once the bulk is gone you can use a microfiber towel and a waterless wash solution to remove dirt and debris

Next use a new microfiber towel and a paint safe adhesive remover to remove any leftover butyl

Use another microfiber towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any final residue from the inside and outside of the car as well as the inside of the new quarter glass window where the butyl will lay

Starting at the bottom corner of the quarter glass, begin laying the butyl along the small edge just to the outside of the studs

Apply a little pressure to the butyl with a piece of the transfer paper and work your way around the window.

Once you have worked your way back to the starting point you can tear off the remaining butyl and butt it up against the other end

Wipe the surface around the outer studs with alcohol

Tear off 3” of sealer and roll it into a donut-like shape and position it around the 3 studs and apply pressure

When putting the new quarter window back on you will first need to make sure that the small tab is positioned underneath the roof rail molding then lightly apply pressure around the molding to seat the butyl

From inside the car install the (7) nuts with mastic sealer to each stud and run each of them down in a circular pattern

DO NOT overtighten! Just get a few turns past finger tight

Once the glass is installed and the outer molding is making contact with the body of the car, we highly recommend doing a leak test for at least 1 minute

We also recommend before installing your rear interior quarter panel and other trim pieces, now would be a good time to prep/paint or thoroughly clean them

Reinstall the jute padding and push pins

Reposition the rear interior quarter panel and pass the seat belt through the slot

Reinstall and retighten the phillips screws that hold the inner quarter panel as well as the scuff plate

Reposition the metal trim pieces and fully seat the clips

Position the upper seat belt bolt attaching point into place and fully tighten the T50 torx bolt and reinstall the cover

Make sure the seat belt isn’t twisted and install the lower bolt

Reinstall the seat belt slot bezel

Reinstall the seat back and bottom

That’s it for our step by step guide for installing your new quarter window!

Mustang Coupe Quarter Windows
Properly restore the exterior of your 1987-1993 Mustang coupe with a set of brand new coupe quarter windows from Daniel Carpenter Reproductions! Over time, the moldings on your quarter windows start to deteriorate due to exposure to UV rays and the elements. You'll start to see pitting and fading which can quickly diminish the look of your coupe. Years ago you could still pick up a set of Carlite coupe quarter windows to remedy this issue, but ever since Carlite stopped making these windows they are hard to find and can cost thousands of dollars for an NOS set. Another option has been to have your factory windows refinished, but this process can take weeks and the results could be less than satisfactory. DCR set out to resolve this issue and the solution is this factory-quality coupe quarter window set at an economical price!

DCR Factory-Quality Construction
Daniel Carpenter Reproductions has been a trusted name in the Mustang community and known for producing high-quality products with factory fit and finish. These coupe quarter windows exceed that standard thanks to their meticulous attention to detail. Starting with the signature Mustang script in the back corner of the window, this text is licensed by Ford to meet their strict branding standards to ensure you're getting the same look as the original window. Each tempered glass window has a factory style frit band on the inside perimeter of the glass with correct dot matrix and is encapsulated with a modern, polyurethane blend compound to provide a factory look and finish that's DOT approved!

Factory Fresh Moldings
In most cases, the primary reason and need for new windows is the deteriorated moldings around your coupe quarter windows. Surrounding the perimeter and backside of these new windows is fresh molding throughout. DCR made it a point to slightly oversize this molding on the outside perimeter to ensure any cars that have been painted will not have an exposed paint line after installation which is common on refurbished windows. These moldings have the subtle, but necessary, grooved accent line that runs across the top of the window and down the rear slanted edge. New mounting studs with factory thread pitch are pre-installed to the backside of the window and align perfectly with the existing holes on the body of your coupe. LMR includes a 15' roll of 3M window sealer as well as new quarter window attaching nuts with pre-installed mastic sealer to ensure a leak free seal.

Installation Note
18 attaching nuts are included, but you will only need 14 for installation.
