    SWB vent glass removal?

    I am looking to have all the bright work sent out for fresh chrome.

    Is there a certain way to remove the vent window glass from the chrome frame?

    they used a sort of cement to bond the glass to the frame and usually it`s a PITA to remove the glass
    here is how i do it..(there might be other ways, even better ones i don`t know) ...time,patience and heat is your friend and this little guy

    not necessarily made for that purpose but that stuff is awsome i even use it to remove overspray(not for dash knobs and alike)

    i soak it several times an let it rest ...if the glass is already loose on one corner it makes things easier.
    you can alsoheat things up with a heat gun --sometimes this does the trick.
    don`t be impatient you might risk bending the frame.
    good luck

    tell your chrome guy not to add to much material inside the U
