Rear Quarter Glass Where Does One Use the Cotter Pin for Install?

[Captain Manly]

Now progressing with the rear qtr glass, would someone show me where does one uses the cotter pin to attach the glass?  

 

BTW, what size of cotter pin to use?

You need to go to realoem.com and review schematic. Life saver for an 02 build.

A cotter pin replaces the original rivet that goes through the metal hinge and the glass.  That pin and the rear latch are amazingly the only things anchoring the glass to the body.  The original rivet was 3.2mm according to the parts manual but the Cabriolet used a 3x25 cotter pin so that should work.  There is also a bushing that fits between the glass and the pin but it is always lost so you might have to fabricate something.

There are three small screws that connect the vertical window frame to the b-pillar.  The cotter pin hold the glass and seal to the metal frame.

Actually 4 per side and they are quoted as 3,5 x 6,5 long.
