Removal of Driver Rear Glass?

Long story short, my F56 had another mishap this week.
As some of you know my incident with the tint shop damaged my hood and fender.....

I need a replacement driver rear glass for my 1 month old Cooper.....
Does anyone know the procedure of removing that glass? The one that doesn't roll up and down.

Not that I'm going to be performing the work, but i would like to know how it is done.

Probably no one else has needed to do so yet. But it would seem that if you either use the dealer or an auto glass company to replace it, you don't necessarily need to be all over their work when you do it.

+1

Just let it happen....
And since bad things happen in 3's....
Make sure all your insurance policies are current and paid, and NO BUNGEE JUMPING!!

P.S.
Most of us might not like the taste of sausage if we knew how it was made....
So just let it get done....less stress that way...sounds like you could use a cold tall one after the month you have had dealing with car issues....

Lol, yes this is the first car i ever acquired with so much bad luck...
Next time when i buy another new car, it better have tint already installed lol or else I'm not buying.

I just figure i'd ask how the removal is, as I'm sure the procedure with the F56 and the previous generation will be similar.


PS: After looking at the OEM Parts catalog for the past 2 weeks, i think i am qualified to be Mini Parts Specialist.
