Thats the easy part Chris,what i need to do i remove the glass from the frame itself,i have the whole assemblys out on the bench but my cousin who tints for a living wont touch them until the glass is free... ;D

I think if you REALLY want to get them out you are going to have to take the frame apart, and I don't have one in front of me so I wouldn't know where to start.

Post by: overthepond on September 04, 2008, 08:27:14 pm: No problem at all,i will take another look over them tomorrow morning,cant remember seeing anything in the way of screws etc but most of the rubber is still in the frames so maybe something is hidden.

Post by: Blazin on September 07, 2008, 07:22:01 am: I have seen a guy do them without taking it apart. They came out perfect. It was a pain in the rear, but he did it. He uses a thin paint stir stick to get under the glass.
