Subject:      Rear window removal tips?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Hi folks,


        I need to remove my rear window so we can fix some rust that started under the seal.  The seal is fairly new so still supple. 


        I thought before I move ahead I would ask those that have done this before. 


I have prepared the hatch, all items like curtains and wires are gone.  Rear wiper arm is off. 


It looks like a two person job, but if I can get it out so that future helpers can get right to work on the rust part that would be great. 


I was considering working on it with the hatch up.  Then pull the rubber out of the way with a length of thick rope.  Then hopefully lift the window up and out. 
I could cut the rubber but if it is removed without playing with sharp knives that would be nice.


Tips are greatly appreciated.
