Trying to go to bare metal on a 1976, to prep for painting. Would like to remove the seal around the triangle door window for ease of cleaning and painting. Not willing to go to the trouble to totally remove the window frame and mechanicals. The question is; "How hard is it to remove and replace that seal without breaking it?" Pic shows window with pencil under the end of the seal. Would appreciate any help.

Well that sounds pretty easy. I was not sure if that top plastic cap was part of the seal or not. Thanks.

The plastic cap is separate from the seal and held on by one or two phillips scews. The fun part will be putting that little window back in. Not a fun job. |

Not a fun job. which is why I think its easier to take the frame out, there is a nut (13mm IIRC) on the inner door panel (the door card needs to be removed) and a couple of phillips screws underneath the door |
