Model: Audi A3 8L, MK 1 - Years 1996-2003
Part: Side window

Let's see in this short video how to remove the rear side window on the Audi A3 8L, first generation, in simple steps. First we open the front door and start by removing the side seal and the plastic panel of the seat belt; we then proceed with disassembling the latter, using a socket wrench. At this point we remove the side rivets of the side glass cover; we then chamfer the pins with a drill bit to remove the side glass, as shown in the video. So we just have to replace it with the new one!
