Subject: Re: HELP! Sliding window removal
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed
Well, Terry, sorry but I don't know what a cotter pin puller is, do you have
a name for this tool of yours so I can buy one. Also, do you have any ideas
on how to remove that slider window from the frame so I can tint it
properly? Otherwise I'll be stuck with a partially tinted slider window.
Thanks for your reply.
