If you want to leave the window installed on the bus and remove the sliding glass the info is already in this e-mail. You simply remove the screw at the bottom of the latch using a slotted screwdriver. I used a special screwdriver with a 90 degree bend in it. Once the handle is removed go outside and remove the?rubber located in the window frame above the sliding window. I pulled at one end for a bit to loosen it then pulled from the other while moving the glass back and fourth. Once the rubber strip is out gently pry up and out the glass with a stiff putty knife.

Thanks for the info Stacy. Your instructions for removing the glass are perfect
as I tested it on one of the 4 sliders today. Yes I have four. Removing the
windows will make for a much easier installation and maybe they won't charge me
more when they realize I have 2 extra windows.

Cheers, Gerry

?? It is a little more work to at least remove the latch .It is held in by a
thin straight screw through the bottom and then 2 Phillips screws hold it
together. once the handle is off,generally you can pull the rubber out where the
window glides and use a thin putty knife and pry it out from the bottom. Having
glass removed when tinting is something that shows years down the road,when it
starts to pull from the edges.
?? Go the extra mile and have the glass pulled and the sliders separated. Once
they are out
