They seem to be glued in, how are they removed? My vert project is ready for the top to be removed, i just need to get these windows out first

 

Your doing a vert? Awsome.

Those bad boys are a **** to get out. They are glued/sealed. What I did was to drill a tiny hole thru the sealant (be careful, dont crack the glass!), then snake a thin steel wire thru the hole. Then use it like a saw to cut thru the sealant. Br patient. It took me 2 hrs on each window, and alot of pieces of SS .020 saftey wire. Also thers a nut on the inside on the front portion of the glass, and one under the plastic trim outside at the back corner. Good luck and be patient!

 

2 hours a window, yikes, i'm going to just carefully saw below the window in that case.

 

Find a windshield shop. Friend of mine that works for one busted out his "Fein knife" and cut my 1/4 windows out in no more than a minute a piece.

The Haynes manual says to use a piece of piano wire to cut out the windows. Do you have a music shop around you some place?

 

That's basically what Rx7carl suggested, too timely. Like i said, i'm just going to saw below them.

 

I covered the 1/4 windows with duct tape inside and out. Applied big ******* hammer and they came out in no time. Vacuumed out any glass that came unstuck from duct tape. Easy.

 

Was that in the FSM?

 

lol thought you were fixing the car up, damn ideas change quickly dont they? LOL

 

regular bailing wire, a little pushing and 1 10mm nut, took me about 5 minutes each side

we do them at work allt he time when we have a window leak, so im a professional

 

What? I'm chopping the top off of the SE. It'll give me something to do while it sits. I'm still "fixing it up"

 

good luck LOL
