[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I just grabbed the window near the top and pulled with all my might. It comes out pretty easy, but the seal (the tar looking stuff is really a formed seal) will likely tear and not be re-usable. I have removed both solid wings and those drilled for mirrors this way.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]hhhmmm Thanks for the tip. No heated wire, no heat gun, no special tool.....just gorrilla tactics. I can do that. Haven't got a feel for the temper on the glass but it sounds like it doesn't shatter based on your several times doing it that same way.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]Remove the door panel and you will see the bolts that holds the complete assy down, remember that the rear of the window is the front rail for the main window.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->...I could get the bolts out, but I never could get it to come out of the door.... it seemed to bind on something. When I was replacing the wing windows on my '78 to ones with intergrated mirrors, the person I bought the wing windows and mirrors from only sent the glass and not the rails, thus the yank 'em out method.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]Did the left one that way....but the right will require separation from the frame.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]You might share with Jeff the part where you have to pry the two adjacent glass mounting bosses away from the outer skin panel. There is a riding condition there. A gentle nudge with a prying tool will coax the bosses up and over the hump on the inner ply of the outer skin.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]A pry and a pull and the whole frame including wing window was removed in that way. I was expecting little cubes of glass to go flying. Must have had around thirty pounds of pull to yank out the assembly.[/FONT]
