Prepping for paint
1 Attachment(s)
Still got to remove roof rack and doors, but really want to remove side and alpine windows. Been getting mixed opinions on how difficult or scary it is, definitly don't want break glass. Looks like it might be easier munipulaing them inwards. Any thoughts or tips, or just tape them

Do you have new gaskets for them? If so, just cut them with a razor blade.
EDIT: use a pick and remove the strip down the middle first, if the gaskets have it. Then cut them if you feel so inclined |
No new gaskets. That's just it, what am I picking out, it's just one big seal, don't see any other component to pull out
|
Inside cab, I presume

Taking them out is a piece of cake. No clue about putting them in. I repaired my cracked seals by taking black aquarium silicone and smearing it into the cracks. It actually doesn't look terrible and it works great.
I'll have to try it, I think savannah posted use black RTV ... my seals are cracked and dusting some for the lower windows |
