    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

    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.

    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.

    @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
