Re: Thoughts on replacing front/rear windows with new?

Yep, he cut the rubber until he could remove the window. He made it look easy, though it was a little more difficult because "they're original"....Been sitting a while, I guess.

Anyway, he cut along the outside of stainless trim using a blade on a long stick. No doubt you can find one, probably a tool of the trade. May have done some slicing from the inside as well...... After he cut, I believe he pulled the stainless off the windshield before we pulled the windshield, likely because I'm reusing the trim. He pulled the trim with the rear window, likely because I'm not reusing it. Course that might explain why he bent the bottom piece.........Ha!.......He wasn't happy, but I don't care, it was far from reusable anyway.
