It was time to pull out the backglass.

From memory i had no recollection of the fine details of the BG all i remembered was that it was a fine specimen of one.

Well once i pulled it out i revealed an above 9 out of 10 BG ! ( nothing is perfect  && )  I was stoked as it was almost Perfect !  ^^^ Some very minor imperfections but not noticeable at all !  #@#

Well was quite happy now and decided to complete the upper part of the restore by reuniting the backglass to its original resting place.

I cleaned the back of the glass with Novus 2. This is a little trick i use to make the light glow more pronounced through the back of the BG . Very gently i clean every square inch of the bg. I was lucky as there was no flaking and no patches of missing paint so this was easy. It can become very tedious if a bg is not perfect.

I also purchased a new lifting channel and new trims from zjww45 who is a member on eBay US. From Memory one set was worth $23 US.

I installed these trims, cleaned the front of the glass with windex and put it back to were it belongs.

Love the colour on this BG.
