Got an external uPVC double glazing unit which has a knackered seal. I'm going to change it myself but it will be the first time I've done such a thing. Can anyone offer any tips with regards to releasing the old glazed unit from the grip of the security tape?
Mine didn't but it was a very early import one badged as a Toyota Celsior. Mind you it did have electricley adjustable heated vibrating independantly reclining rear seats, and a switch to push the front passenger seat forward to give extra leg room in the rear. That was an option back in 1991/2, and it still all worked perfectly in late 2007/early 2008 when I sold it.
I think it is the mk4 model onwards that is dglazed. I recently serviced a mk3 with 200k on the clock, it still runs and drives almost like new. radio display has lost a few segments is about the worst fault.
Mine was only about 90k on the clock, but looked like it had been=20 neglected all its life.

15years old. Still got over 25 to the gallon mixed commuting, it cost me=20 =A3600 with a fresh ticket, but absolutley no history since it had been=20 imported in 1996, not even one old service or halfords receipt in the=20 boot under the carpet. Had one small rust bubble on the drivers door, a=20 few stone chips on the bonnet, one lifter tapping a bit on the right=20 hand back bank which is common and leavable until the next big job, and=20 the JDM spec leather was worn on the drivers bolster, but apart from=20 that, once you got used to the wallow it was a great drive. Shame the=20 air suspension had been switched off, and the struts replaced with=20 standard coilover struts. It had the pump and all the wiring there, but=20 the struts were just too pricey an option to replace hoping the rest=20 worked.
