[Grog]

The first glass shop I talked to thought you had to buy the rear window with the frame attached at the factory, and would not do the job. I did not ask the second place where I got the goop, but he said he would not attempt to remove the frame, just bead the inside, dig out what you can on the outside and regoop. After digging at the outside for 2 days and being less than halfway I have given up any thoughts of removing the frame. The stuff on there may be old and loose on the outer side, but the back side is on there good. I thought about using a wire, don't think I could get it through. Its not like a windshield where the goop is thick, you have around 1/8 inch with a 90 degree on one end, with 0 clearance in some spots. I bought one of those flat, flexable wood cut of saws, real thin, it might go in there and you could saw off the inside sealant, but I think the sawing would destroy your rear defroster wires, and scratch the glass. I asked th eguy if heat would help, he said the amount of heat required to help would more likely cause the glass to break and ruin the frame before the goop would get soft. What the hell is that stuff? and if its so hard to get off why is it leaking.


You can see where the glass has pulled away on the upper corners, It's almost like the glass has moved down to the bottom. On the bottom the glass is so close to the frame I can't even get a razer into some parts. In some places where I have dug out the goop water squirts out and its dirty under the sealant.

Well, time to go work on the window.
