Matthews method of getting the windows in works well for me. But how do you
get them out?!  Old bugs were easy, even the old loafs are not too hard
with relativly loose rubber, but the rear windows in my 86 synchro were
glued in and I had to cut the rubber to get them out.


Anyone have tricks for getting the newer windows out without damaging the
rubber?
