Got bored with rust - decided I should tackle power windows in the front doors. First problem- is there a way to remove the glass fromImage
the metal channel that the actuator slides along. Hammer would be the quickest way. But I want the glass not the channel Image

Soak with CRC or WD-40
Lay flat on a towel or blanket
Tap off gently with small hammer and drift

Or kero. Replaced the rubbers on mine and instructions say use kero on rubbers to make them soft and to set.

I was told to use white spirits to set the rubbers ??? That’s what I used on my ‘57 anyway

Well had no kero so went with wd40. Got 1 off after a couple squirts. Other side is being a bit more stubborn. Rubber is as hard as a rock. Wd40 cleans the janky rubber off the glass too. Image

Got the passenger side one off. This looks like it had been replaced. Rubber stuck firm to the glass but noticed it moving in the channel. Crossed my fingers, stood it up and tapped. Success Rail slid off the rubber Image
