Paul D Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi all Can anyone advise me on the best way to remove a Front window screen from a RRC without breaking it with the intention of fitting it to my truck as mine has a crack in it! Thanks in advance. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meathumper Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi, where i live a brick is the choice of the local kids. But as you want to keep it in one peice, i would cut the rubber away and push it out from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi all Can anyone advise me on the best way to remove a Front window screen from a RRC without breaking it with the intention of fitting it to my truck as mine has a crack in it! Thanks in advance. Paul Paul There are two ways on a classic you can do it, safely one is the correct way the other is the easy way. First the easy way:- take a very sharp knife and insert the blade between the glass and the window rubber and drag it around the rubber until the face is removed the glass will pop out easily with someone on the inside gently pushing with their feet in the middle of the screen. OR The propery way:- when you look at the face of the rubber glazing strip there is an insert in the middle if you gently push a (small)screw drive between the rubber and the under you should be able to prize out the insert. Take the insert out all the way around the screen. Now as before with someone inside the glass should be gently pushed out by your feet exerted on the middle of the screen. Be aware that you may need to use some force and because this is glass you are working with there is a fine line between the required force and breaking the glass so be extremely careful.

Paul D Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks for the reply Simon. Depending on the condition of the rubber in the donor truck i may try the correct way and save the rubber as it may be in better condition than my rubber seal.
