I can tell u what works best for me. It takes two people. One person on the inside of the Van on their back. Both feet placed against the glass. Place the feet so the heels are against the bottom of the glass. Pry one corner first just to loosen it and then the other. Then spread your feet across the bottom. For the sliders, try to keep the heels on the metal frame. Then push. The bottom will slowly come out. When the bottom is out, just flip the window out. I am being serious here. I have done this several times with great success. On the rear glass, when it starts to move, it goes quickly. I had one window pop out quickly. This is why you need the second person...to catch it.

I remember at one time someone had a step by step of the window removal with pictures but I can't find it. Does anyone know where I can find this? -- Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '90 Carat (Grover - the noble parts donor) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?
