I have a brand new rear window guard which someone offered to fit for me. They appear to have fallen off the face of the earth leaving me with a guard unfitted. I cannot do it as I do not have the appropriate tools or time! I live in Luton, BEDS......know anyone who can help?

Hi,
I have the same (I assume there is only one) type on my commercial that was there when I bought it.

Having had the rear door panel off to run some wiring I can remember thinking that the guards shouldnt be too hard to fit, although I may be wrong.

Take the rear door trim off, 3 or 4 screws along the bottom edge and then pull from the bottom and sides and may need lifting clear at the top.

Once in there im hoping that you would see 2 pillars that are square that are runninng vertical at the top of the door (right under where the top of the trim would be). These 2 pillars would have 2 threaded holes in them.

Now, if thats the case then all you need to do is make 2 holes in the top of the door trim same centers as the square pillars and 2 on the facing that are the same centers as the threaded holes. The later been for thumb screws to hold the guard in place.

I am purely guessing at this and hope that someone can correct me but its worth taking off the door trim just to have a nose, at the end of the day you only need a phillips driver to look and maybe a drill to make a couple of holes.

the square pillars are held on by whats known as scrivets and need a special tool to fit. however, I did mine with an allen key and a pair of grips. BUT, it is possible to get your hand behind the panel and use conventional nut and bolt.

Mines a commercial but didn't have the rear grill so I fitted it meself. not a hard job, but templates don't line up too well

Thanks for the responses. I need to take some time out to have a look at the rear door!!
