Removing the passenger side windows - problem
Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2014 9:56 pm
I have a question I want to throw out before I get all medieval
on my window retaining strip. When removing the metal strip
that retains the window gaskets/windows in the drivers side
door, I removed the six screws and the things came apart, no
problem. When I removed the passenger side screws, the
metal strip stayed in place, as if cemented or super glued.
I tried to rock it back and forth to break the seal, pulled on it
pretty darn hard, and eventually used a thin chisel to start the
separation of the strip from the door, but the darn thing just
won't budge. Is this common? Or did some idiot glue this
metal strip with some really freakin' good glue that I'm going
to have to chisel and use solvent until it gives way?
Any ideas on the topic from you old timer pinzies?
