Hi guys,

Anyone know how to replace the tailgate glass? Because the original APE one is tinted, that I can’t pass the MOT in my country, I used to replace it with normal Punto evo’s clear glass, may be grande Punto is the same I’m not sure...

Thanks
Patrick
 
I understand that needs special adhesive and shouldn’t be a easy job.
I only can seach out the parts number of grande Punto, can’t find the evo one.

I have a tube of the single pack acrylic body sealant that will also do window glass (though not windscreens). It's great stuff but the aluminium tube is collapsing rather than the plunger sliding in. I would be very unhappy if the new window was ready to fit and that happens so buy carefully.
 
That’s because normally with window fitting adhesives you use a special mastic gun that completely encloses the cartridge.

Thanks I'd not thought of that.

My previous tube behaved perfectly but Ive no idea what brand it was. Both are single pack body sealant.

I believe windows are done with fast setting twin pack.
