    Lovely video and presented in beautiful clear filming .. I’d only say you would have been better if viewers could actually see u take it out and put it in even if it took time and you struggled would show the real element of the job .. I don’t like it where there’s a break and then it’s fitted or dismantled .. but apart from that all good 👍🇬🇧

    There is a better way to disconnect the battery. Unscrew the other end of the negative battery wire (where it attaches to the body of the car) and put a plastic bottle over it. And to secure the rear door you can just manually lock the exposed latch with a screwdriver or even your fingers.

    If it’s the bolt holding the glass, the old plastic captive nut at the back can spin. If it is that nut, you need to get hold of it somehow and stop it from spinning
