Interior/Exterior CF rear hatch

CF rear hatch
I just received the CF rear hatch and in the process of removing all parts from the inside of the OEM hatch (Very easy and straight forward) My question is...
How is the rear window held on to the hatch?
1.By glue?
2.Can I get this glue from my local Autozone or should I go to the BMW Dealer.
3. It looks very straight forward, is this a do-it-yourself job or should it be done by a glass installer

Thanks for the heads up..It seems to be a pretty easy re-install, the only thing that has to be done on the CF hatch is drill all holes where the screws from the inside panel attach. You'll also have to drill the holes for the clips where the outside trim attaches. At first glance it seems fairly daunting but once I started to look it really is only "measure twice drill once"
I'll post pictures this weekend of both for those of you that think of doing the same to your rear hatch.
The Bonnet seems to be only a little more complex, although I haven't taken a close look since they were delivered. The CF Fenders will be here next week...I'll make a separate thread as soon as I have all pieces in hand and give a photo how to if I remember.

i really would like to be able to afford to get my hood and hatch repaced with the CF. I think it looks awesome..
and yes a roof cap would be awesome!.. i would have to do alot of work to mine because i have the sunroof... and i know that kind of defeats the purpose.. but it would like awesome...maybe just a cover you know? like the mirror cover haha.

Actually there is a source in Arizona that is willing to make a CF roof cap that will just glue right onto your existing top. We need a total I believe 4-5 for him to make it worth his while to fabricate the mold for them... From what I remember the price would be around $450-550 dollars for it.

Hey Splinter...the OEM glass is fine with a CF hatch. But...if it were me I would spend the extra dough and put a PC (Poly-Cabonate) piece in instead. The only drawback is that its almost as much as the hatch...lol. Let me know if you want one and I can price one out for you. Or if your lazy *** wants the phone number...
