separating door window from metal channel

[911scfanatic]

How do I safely remove the door window from the window bracket (that is connected to the window regulator)? There's a folded rubber strip between the glass and channel that seems to have a death grip on the glass after ~35 yrs. Obviously, I don't want to break the glass. Thanks.

Hello there.

I just soak in a solvent...gasoline etc..

Kind regards

Bill-
I use a thin blade knife to slice along the glass on both sides. After a few passes, the sticky rubber seal will give up.
It also helps to do it out in the sun where all parts get warmed up.

When I did it some time ago I used a razor, lots of 3M adhesive remover to soften up the glue, and a screwdriver underneath to gently pry it up. I will say that unless you want to replace the glass, which i assume you do, I would leave it alone.

Good luck,

John

Thank you, gentlemen, I will give it a try...
