| How do you remove the rubber front and rear window seals on a FL with damaging them?
Does anybody have a video or advise on how to do this.
I have a few FL parts cars that I need to part before winter that I can practice on. |

| you unlock them, then lube them up with something, push the bottom out, remove glass, remove seals.
to unlock you take like a plastic thin stick and open the seals up. |

Location: Muskego, WI | Ken, if you have the factory service manual (FSM) for the vehicle in question, the procedure is explained in pretty good detail with pictures. I was able to swap windshields in my 1960 Plymouth following the procedure if the FSM. I used Goop original formula hand cleaner to clean and soften the gasket ahead of the removal, a popsicle stick comes in mighty handy as well. If you look at my member's ride thread for my Plymouth, I have some of the details about windshield removal in that thread. If you want to email or even call me directly, send me a PM and I'd be happy to give more detail. |

| I will check out the thread. I will try the hand cleaner. The car I'm trying first is a 56 desoto rear window. If I'm looking at it right there is a rubber expansion string that kinda snaps into the middle? I will work the seal til it comes loose. Does the string remove in one piece? I don't have the service Manuel just the supplement Manuel. Will send a pm |

i use an old cutoff round screwdriver , rounded off smooth and wd40 to help things go smoother
to clean up , i use original go jo and let it set for a day or two in a plastic bag , then wash ----------------------------------------------later |
