rear window glass
« on: June 26, 2010, 08:43:45 pm »
My 84 C10 has the sliding rear window, I just picked up the solid glass for it and was wondering how to remove the sliding window without damaging the gasket. I need to re-use the gasket on the new glass. I know how to put it in, just dont know how to remove without causing damage to the gasket, anyone know how to do this

I use a broad edge pry bar an push the rubber out past the pinch weld.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

there are 2 different ways that the moulding is shaped for.some will roll in toward the cab and others will roll out. The lip on the moulding will be around the outside edge...a easy example is pop your lights out if you have the rubber seal around them. Like every custom flat deck has..****you can also use a big flat pry bar***  hope this helps, spent a cpl years doin autoglass

As a smaller example look at the way the moulding on the lights fits in. in the picture i added you can see the moulding but on a truck its not so deep..the rubber should have an H shape if you were to cut it. Another example is in a SKIDSTEER, you can only pop the back window out not into the cab..Im lookin for a photo of just the rearwindow but no luck yet

Start at the corner and start rolling the gasket put with some pressure on it
