My seals are cracked around my windows. However, I can live with this, but should I replace? I am painting the thing and I think it would be wise to replace. DO I JUST RIP THEM OFF? Thanks for the help...

If you're gonna replace them, a razor blade or very sharp, thin knife will speed removal. Watched a guy at a salvage yard cut around OUTSIDE edge of glass and pop out the windshield in less than a minute. Don't damage glass!

If you can't fix it with a hammer and screwdriver, you need a bigger hammer.

I’d trim the rubber back with a razor knife leaving just enough to hold the glass in. Then I’d mask it and paint it. Let the paint cure. Then finish removing the rubber and glass. Then re-install with new rubber. This way you won’t get paint on your new rubber and you’ll have fresh paint up under the seal, plus your masking job will be a lot easier. Make sure you don’t catalyze all your paint; you may need a little for the metal that isn’t exposed (if it’s rusty).

Good luck,
John
