Not sure... I believe it is still attached. I have metal all the way around the window.

Re: how to remove window glass

On mine (one peice side glass) there were (2) small screws that attatch the metal glass trim to the metal runner that is attached to the bottom of the glass. Once the screws have been removed you can slide off the metal trim.

Make sense? If not I can get you a pic.

Thanks, that is where I was going with this!!
When you get the bottom separated from the trim part try the gas or laqure thinner, maybe a piece of hard wood and a malett if it gives you trouble
