Changing a BMW 318i Convertible rear window

Well as the title says this is a video of me changing the rear window on my car. The reason I recorded this is a local BMW dealer quoted me between £400-500 to replace it. I bought my new rear window on ebay for £75 incl. postage and they reckon it should take between 1 and 2 hours for 2 people to change. This took me and my dad 45 minutes but we spent most the time trying to attach the zip connecter.

I accept no responsibility to anyone who follows this and it doesnt work.

Cheers macho, and parker I realise the music is pretty bad but it was 1 of my first ever vids, wasn't sure what music to use. Good luck to anyone doing it yourself

No problem Joe, I was worried it was going to be impossible to do myself and would have liked to see it done in a vid first to re-assure me
