Hi all. I know (cuz I searched the archives. Thanks archives) that there are useful tips on window removal. i.e. A yardstick can be made into tools for prying out the window. I had nothing suitable until I found some old paint stir sticks. Most home owners (read: packrats like me!) have these kicking around. Just cut one end of the paint stick at an angle (a la a putty type scraper but not a sharp edge!) and use 3 of these to work your way around and ease the window out. They worked great for me and in a pinch likely will for you too. I found WD 40 helped the window slip out better. Bonus: I can still stir paint with them --- ;^)
