Re: vent window glass removal (from frame)

Yeah, I did it. It is a pain, but you just have to go really slow and gentle. I soaked the rubber "gasket" material that holds the glass into the frame with some WD40 and let it sit over night. Then I GENTLY pryed the glass out with a small flathead screwdriver and a pick tool. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ed

I did this also, i soaked the rubber with auto thinners, it melted into the rubber and i then pryed it out.

It came out very easy
