About 18 months ago I asked this question:
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?5867-Rusty-frames-on-the-rear-side-sliding-windows-GQ
and it generated a bit of discussion and I got a contact to these guys in QLD:
http://myworld.ebay.com.au/autoglasswarehousebrisbane/&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754

I rang them and discussed the issue I had but sat on the information, checking eBay every now and then and this thread brought it back to mind:
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?18215-GQ-Shorty-Windows
and I bought these:

Turned up today and I intended to sit on them for a while.
I opened them up to check to make sure they were correct and then started checking out the rusty frames on the car. Gave them a little tug to see how hard they would be to get off and be blowed they almost fell off in my hands. Well, that meant I had to do something about the hole in the side of the car. (it's raining here and it doesn't have undercover parking) Long story short I managed to get one in with a bit of struggling and fiddling about.

I'll do the other one in a few days and put some pictures up and some more detailed hints on what I've found to make it easier.

Pretty pleased with the result. :)

Awesome mate, will be a good thread in the making. thanks for posting the links to the conversations you have had and others will benefit from your thread when you have the pics up.

Nice contribution mate.

ps. I might actually move your thread to the DIY section once you have some pics up bud. Cheers
