First thing is to gain a thorough understanding of how the
rubber locks by folding into itself. You need to unlock it with a nylon
drift. Never use a metal tool. Everything, including the seal-to-gasket
area, should be soaked in a slippery penetrant, like WD-40 or PB Blaster.
Once you get it unlocked, use the drift to wiggle the glass loose from the
gasket. Every area of the glass must be free from the gasket. Then begin to
push from the lower third of the glass, where it begins to curve. Just light
pushes as it begins to release. It will free up and pop
out.
Be sure to read the shop manual for additional instructions. When
reinstalling, start from the top edge then the sides, and finally the bottom.
Use the nylon drift to help you out. This is a two person job,
BTW.
Again, DO
NOT cut the gasket.

Hi Ron,
I haven’t removed the glass
yet, I need to do some slight rust repairs around the rear screen. I’m
concerned with getting the glass out without breaking the glass so thought I
would cut the rubber.
The front shield I wanted
to clean up the edges for painting, but I think I will leave it alone after
hearing that.
Any hints on removing rear
glass?

RE: {Chrysler 300} 57 300c windshield rubbers
Here's
the deal: You can't. They are not reproduced. The repro stuff you see from
'major vendors' is junk. It's generic and doesn't work. If yours is in fairly
good shape, recondition it. If someone along the way expedited glass removal
by cutting the rubber, that was a major mistake. So here's what can be done:
For the windshield, understand that it's a W451, which means that any Mopar
2dr hardtop or 4dr hardtop from 1957, except Imperial, also uses the same
gasket. Also, 1958 Plymouth hardtops retained the W451 windshield while the
other makes went to the later W453. So you have to get one from a parts car.
Regarding the rear glass, any senior model 2dr HT that has the large rear
window will use the gasket that you need.
Are
these very desirable candidates for reproduction ? YES !
