   some ********* broke into my car tonight, the rear passenger window (3 door, 97 Saxo) is smashed. I've seen I can pick up one locally for £25, which seems pretty good (gota be better than nothing). How hard are they to fit? I can see there apears to be a total of 3 bolts, two hindges and then the rear clasp. Is it littereally a matter of removed the bolts, broken glass then feeding the new glass onto those bolts and secure the bolts not doing it to hard to shatter the glasS?
   
   I'm no good with cars, really bad - but I can do DIY - I'm not totally useless, so is this a doable home job for the noob, or is it worth spending £XX.XX on a garage jobby?
   
   Cheers.

   yup as you say just the 3 torx bolts t25 i think they are
   
   there are little washers btween the glass and hinges and screws
   
   also be carefull when re fittng not to over tighten as they snap easy
   
   its easier if you get someone to hold the glass while you screw it on

   Cheers - picked up a window for £22, and some torx style allen keys.
   
   Doesn't exactly match, but it's good enough - the glass is in better condition, so it's not worked out too bad all in all.
