Re: Glass removal

["Mike" <lerb@redrose.net>]

Hope you found the info prior to this message but just in case you did not I
will tell you how i went about getting mine out.

1. Take a piece or clothes line (about 4 foot)
2. place it thru the bottow right hand corner of the windows (there will be
room there)
3. wet the gasket edges all the way around.
4. Take the clothes line carefull all the way around the window all the
while pulling the gasket free from the canal it is in.
IMPORTANT!!

Have someone hold the glass from the inside.
You may still end up breaking the glass but at least ya tried.
