Yes , another "help me not make a mistake when I do this " thread.

Going to be very busy tearing down the car for paint tomorrow which will include removal of the rear window as well as the front.

It's in there pretty good I think. Just need to know if there are helpful hints on how to do this with out breaking anything-

Thanks,

Dr. Phil

Make sure the window isn't falling out by itself.
Take all the trim off the inside of the window.
If the seal is original, it should pop out with a push. If not, you need to thread a wire or lever a compromise in the seal.
A second person should catch the glass unless you want it to drop and potentially break.

Have fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

you probably want to replace the seal between the rear window and the metal of the engine access, also 3M make s a product which provides a seal between the body and the window. This basically holds the window in place, once you remove the roll bar padding.
