Can anyone give me a quick rundown on how these things come out? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 218 I have more zippers then a pair of cargo pants | | I have more zippers then a pair of cargo pants Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 218 | Remove center strip inside & out, then use a razor blade knife around the window rubber on the outside & then gently push out....joe

inexpensive. Most any glass that was in front of a vehicle
for half a century is gonna have some surface damage not to
mention the deterioration and yellowing of the plastic
lamination.
Mute point though, cus Jimmy Jazz pulled it out the other night,
but someone else might benefit from the thread.

I measure my glass vs the new on my panel and it was .005 with the new glass being thicker. | | |
