I'm not sure if this is the forum topic for my question, but it seems like the best fit. I did a search and didn't come up with anything, so here goes.

Anyone have some tips and tricks on removing the window glass? I've got one windshield pane that is in good condition and I want to save it. The other pane is spiderwebbed. That tends to happen when glass gets shot. The rear window is cracked in one place and I don't want it to break more. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

On the windshield glass just take a razor blade and cut the seal along the edge of the glass and then remove, you will need a new windshield seal anyway,take the good pane of glass to a local shop and have them use it as a pattern to make a replacement then order a new seal from "Steele Rubbber".
On the back just find the end of the lock strip use a small flat head screwdriver to pick it out grab the end then pull it out, after the lock strip is removed a little pressure from the inside from a helper the glass will pop right out as you catch it on the outside.

WyoBolter...Tim's covered all the bases on this one.
Cutting the old rubber is by far the safest way to preserve your glass.
Just dont slip with the knife! eek

Here's a link to Steeles
They're not the cheapest but the genereal consensus is,they are the best.
It won't hurt to replace the rear rubber too,if it's the original one.
Especially if you're going this far.

Awesome! Thank you both for the help. Hopefully I can get the remainder of the cab stripped out and all of the glass pulled today.
