i don't want to break them

Featured Replies

well i need to get the back windows out of that glue/sealer crap they use

cause well i don't need them ..

 

and i really don't want to break them when someone else might need them

 

so how do you defeat the black sealer crap?

search for window removal

there are two ways to attach and remove the windwo according to the mounting method

peel away the metal trim and knife the glue

 

"hammer"

Running piano wire around the window always worked for me. Use it like a saw....1 person on the inside 1 on the outside.

What is the year and make of the vehicle? Thepiano wire method's biggest drawback is the potentialfor the wire to heat up and thus break the glass whena hot wire contacts the glass. The best method I've found (not including the proper tools = in excess of $450) is a chrome release tool (about $12) a utility knife around the edge of the glass (outside, all of the way to the pinchweld) and a cheap fillet knife ( flat tothe glass inside). Take your time and remain in control.

Proper tools?

 

I have a few glass removal/installation tools.. one of which is basically a piece of piano wire with handles on the ends... made specifically for the type of thing being asked about.

The tool actually made to remove glass set in urethane is a Fein tool. It ascillates at about 14,000 rpm and is adjustable to around 65,ooo rpm. It's slick for cutting out glass. No contact of hot metal on the edge of the glass, a common cause for explosion of tempered glass.
