308 GTB quarter window louver replacement

Good evening everyone
I need to replace the passenger side rear quarter window louver.

if anyone has done this before or has information on how to best approach this, it would be greatly appreciated

it looks to me as if the window must be removed, and that is certainly not the road I want to take.

thank you very much for any feedback

 

Image Unavailable, Please Login You have to take the window out as the frame and seal rest on the extruded lower section

 

OMG, Then I will take on the challenge
Do you know if this process of disassembly is explained somewhere?

Thank you very much for your feedback

 

My car is a 77 on this there are some small self tapping screws retaining the rear of the frame, one on the fuel filler side, 2 on the other side and pop rivets at the front. Please note on my car I replaced the front pop rivets with screws. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

What year is your car? Are you talking about the small louver behind the glass?

 

Thank you very much for your feedback, I don't think mine are like that, I will take a closer look from the inside.
By the way, awesome Lamborghini , please share a photo.
I had white one back in 1988

Yes the frame has to come out.

For the passenger side you need to do the following:

1. Remove the inside trim on the B-pillar
2. Pull the gasket off the rear side of the B-pillar
3. Drill out the 3 rivets holding the frame to the B-pillar
4. Push out the frame from the top forward corner
5. There is a pin with a gasket around it at the rear of the frame that fits into a hole in the body
6. The louver is riveted to the frame.

Thank you very much for this information.
QQ: will I need to remove the actual glass?

 

The glass will come out of the frame once the frame is out of the car. The frame is open at the bottom side of the glass.

Got it
Thank you.

 

@Dockboy May I ask an off topic question, I believe you may have the answer.
My car is an Euro version and has the Cibie driving lights under the front bumper.

I believe these lights should flash when the light switch (lever) is pulled but when I pull, nothing happens.
They do work when the (i think) the high beam is activated.

Do you know how these should operate?

Thank you

 

Be careful drilling the rivets

 

Thank you. I will see how to get them to work when pulling
