Saturn back glass

Got a Saturn SL2 back glass to put in this week. Just wondering if the side moldings came off the same way the windshield moldings do with screws underneath. Anyone remember? I'm sure I can figure it out no prob just wondering.

Re: Saturn back glass

Is this the one where the molding runs from the bottom corner of the w/s all the way back to the bottomn of the B/G? The screws are underneath the Q/G moldings, which are bonded to the Q/G. Make sure the Q/G moldings are warm enough to be soft so you can pry them up to get to the screws. If this isn't the vehicle then just ignore my wild rambling.

Re: Saturn back glass

I believe you are referring to the 2 door coupe model of the same car. This is a 4 door sedan. I'm almost 100% certain its just like the windshield with the screws underneath. After you loosen the screws you just pop the molding forward and out. Thats how it looks I just haven't done one yet and was just wondering if there was anything hidden to look out for.

Re: Saturn back glass

what year is it you goof? The other poster is right, it has tabs that look like the front w/s or similar to a 1217... there a booger to do by yourself. and they cost a FORTUNE!!

Re: Saturn back glass

'99 model

These aren't the ones that wrap half way around the **** car.

The windshield is DW1273.

Re: Saturn back glass

Yeah the one your thinking of BTO is the dw1123 and the associated backglass. Wraps half way around the **** car and is all encapsulated. Pain in the ***.

Re: Saturn back glass

back glass is bonded all around. i have 3/used of them in stock, can't remember how it was install,carful pricey glass.

Re: Saturn back glass

99 sl 2 is not the dw1123 saturn the backglass moldings are on with torx screws the glass has a top and bottom molding the comes with the glass these are pretty staight forward b/glass the glass can will cut out easy the corners you may need either the express or the eq either one will get what ever a cold knife will not

Re: Saturn back glass

Right you are Rick. The windshield for these is the DW1273. The 1123 and backglass fit the previous models.

Re: Saturn back glass

AGN- I told you just to ignore me if I was wrong--now I am sad

Re: Saturn back glass

Why are you sad?

Who can keep Saturns straight? I can't count how many times I've gone out with the wrong window on a Saturn. They suck.

Re: Saturn back glass

Now me HAPPY!!!

Re: Saturn back glass



Re: Saturn back glass

I used to hate it when a customer would call and ask for a price on his/her Saturn.
"Year/Make and Model please sir?"
"I know it's a 95, but i don't see any other markings on the car????"

Re: Saturn back glass

That's okay sir, is it a 2 door or a 4 door? Does your windshield have a sharp point on the outside edges at the top? LOL!!

Re: Saturn back glass

I hear that. Trying to figure out which model it is is so hard. Half the time you show up with the wrong window.

Re: Saturn back glass

If you had a phone ... well agn you know the rest :0

Re: Saturn back glass

It got to the point that we required the customer to let us see the vehicle before we would order glass for any Saturn car.

Re: Saturn back glass

had one customer call me for a right door glass.when he came to the shop,it was the left door glass. good thing it wasn't a mobile job.

Re: Saturn back glass

That's why i always ask;drivwes side or passengers side.

Re: Saturn back glass

Yeah,No kidding VT. you would think most of us would realize that........

Re: Saturn back glass

But then, you still have to specify, front or rear. Had one lady come in who told me, passenger side. When she got there it was passenger side allright, but in the rear. She said, I am the only one that sits in front so the passenger side is back there!! LOL!! Go figure!

Re: Saturn back glass

I was talking ot a lady on the phone one day and when i asked her if her car was two door or four door she had to set the phone down and go out and look.

Re: Saturn back glass

some customer have no idea what kind of car they have.
2d/4d.front/rear glass ect..
it's like talking to a 5-years old kid...

Re: Saturn back glass

Just think what its like working at Auto Zone or Kragens Auto Parts? Glass can be confusing just think what its like for some of these people to figure out what size engine they have!!
