string? u mean like taking off side strips of the car with fishing wire, same principle? or am i completely off here?

haha there wont be any hammers coming close to my glass anytime soon hopefully. i might give the heat gun a shot though.

Just push the seal edge over from the inside. The hatch lip will probably crumble away with rust and then the glass and seal will come out easily.......

Hahahahhahaha Dave you love for Evan is blinding you.

You use string or rope to re-install the windows.

As mentioned you need to slowly and gently pry the seals out from the inside, use sturdy screwdriver to get up and under the seals from the inside, then slowly work your way around.

Hint: start in a cnr, and dont take the hach off, makes it much easier. Also peeling back the seal from the outside and using soapy water can/will help.

Be patient it will take time and some convincing if youve never done it before.

if u have no need for the glass get a hammer and go nuts

helps if you have somone to apply pressure where you are easing the seal out. you want the glass to come out through the top of the hatch. its quite easy just be patient and work your way around.

theres 2 ways... save the seal or not save it by cutting along the groove line of the outer side of the hatch...

i tried with the save the seal part... and failed miserably.. even though ive worked with soapy water and hot water... its a fkin c**t and a half!!!!!!

i say lots of FKIN BOILING HOT WATER!!!! should do it...

good luck man..
