Ok, so after some searching on the internet I could not find anywhere a guide for changing the rear windows on a 07 plate roomster.
So forgive me if someone has done this, but I thought I'd write it up for the next person looking for it in case it comes up on their Google searches!
How to change the rear window of a Skoda Roomster. (Manual Window)
Remove the front half of the door handle sliding in a tool at the back to release the clip, then easing from the back upwards to release the clips.
Under here you will find 2 * T30 screws which need removing.
At the very bottom of the door you will find a T15 (I think) screw which also needs removing.
This is all the screws for the door. Last to remove is the winder handle for the window. Holding the winder in your right hand use your left hand to grab the ring of plastic in-between the handle and door and pull in the opposite direction to which the handle points. This will move about quarter of an inch and allow you to pull the handle off the splined shaft
Now to remove the door card start from the bottom left to pop the clips that hold it in. They are made of the worst plastic ever and easily break so be prepared to have some extras to hand. Once all the clips are released, you will need to release the door opener cable (unclip white clip then slide toggle out of holder) and the speaker cable connector hidden in foam.
Bring the window all the way down and remove the inside and outside trim along the bottom of the window opening. Next get a.finger into the rubber round the 2 sides and top and carefully remove. This will allow you to see on the vertical edge towards the rear of the car 3 * ph1 screws. Undo ready to remove the external black trim strip that runs vetically above the door handle.
Now on the inside of the door behind this strip remove the 2 rubber grommet blanks that hide 2*t30 screws that hold in the door handle. Carefully unhook the pull rod as you pull this away and remove trim strip at the same time. This gives you enough room to slide the window towards the rear of the car/door to lift it out once you've undone the carrier.
On the inside of the door about 2/3rds of the way up there is a rubber grommet blank that as you wind the window up will allow you to see the plastic clip that carries the bottom of the window. Now unlike on my fabia, my wife's roomster did not have a bolt but 2 plastic roll pins. Thankfully my wife had already smashed the window so I just had to retrieve these from inside the door.
Before the next step ensure the carrier is all the way down.
Now to get the window in, holding the glass on the outside of the door drop in with the edge as close to the rear as you can and as you go down slide forwards slightly
If you need to you can undo the 4 T30 screws that hold the winder mechanism plate in to help see if you're landing in the carrier then slide in the roll pins /whatever magic fittings your door came with!
Refit in the reverse of above and make good!
I appreciate that a) there are no photos with this but I realised I should do this AFTER I'd finished the job b) it's not the best guide in the world but it's my first time, maybe update it with some more in the future!
But the takeaways from this are to swap the windows you need to strip the trim and handle off! What a palaver.
