rolla van man Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Hey everyone, I have a nasty bit of wrist around window frame of my rear drivers side window on my ke26, trying to get the glass our to be able to fix it. As this window is fixed in place, how do I remove it without destroying the rubber seal around it? Or do I just have to find a new one? I was getting very frustrated yesterday an considered breaking the window so I could fix this rust. Potentially an expensive method hahah any help is appreciated, cheers, leighroy Quote
7shades Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Its not easy to get those bastards out... Ordinarily its a matter of prying one of the inside corners of the seal down and pushing the rest out from the inside, but most of the time the seals have gone hard with age and that doesn't work anymore. You'll probably need to replace the seal whichever way you do it. Google methods for removing a windscreen as they're very similar. Guitar strings work well. Or get one of these bad boys. Quote

7shades Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Form a loop and push it through the seal (at a corner is usually easier) and pull one end through. Get someone else to hold one end, and work the string around the seal whilst putting some pressure on from the inside. Quote
