Removing glass?
« on: July 07, 2008, 11:10:55 PM »

Who's done it? I'm about a week or two away from doing it and I'm likely going to go with something like a guitar string and slowly cut along the glass but I'm wondering if anyone has built a box or something to contain the glass and might have dimensions for me?

I think Eastwood makes a glass removal tool., the wire with t-handles on either end to help control the pull thru the rubber sealer.

I've used the tool sunsetdart mentioned.   You MUST work slowly and evenly or you will be buying new glass.  My rear glass for my roadrunner is taped up in a blanket up on a high shelf with strict instructions to STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM IT.

i had good luck cutting the tired old shrunken rubber out with a razor knife and the glass came right out.

I did the same for my back glass, took a razor and cut from the outside and then cut from the inside and it lifted right out.
