Removing glass from frames



Greg,

I don't personally have any experience with this procedure. 

I am sure that any good glass shop can explain how those frames and windows 
come apart. Years ago someone (actually it was a mad "ex") smashed all of the 
windows out of a friend's 1964 Crown Four Door. I gave him my spare set of side 
windows to install into his car, and a friend of mine who worked in a glass 
shop (no longer in touch with the friend) put all new glass in the other set of 
frames. I still have those windows in my garage as a spare set.

Guess I am getting to old to have an angry "ex" do something like that to me. I 
think I'll hang on to those windows anyway, though, just in case!

Paul
