I need to remove my front and back windsheild for paint and the moldings are shot. So can I just remove the moldings, or do I have remove the entire glass?

 

In being in the process of this right now I've pulled off the molding (ruining the rear molding because I rushed it ) and the window seal to me looks like it needs to be cut out to release the window. I was reading on here about this sometime ago if I find the post I'll link it but from what I do remember of the post you use a straight razor/utility knife to cut the rubber holding the window in making sure you cut the bottom last so the darn thing doesn't fall out.

 

You don't need a razor knife. I've removed plenty of windshields and rear windows and never touched a knife. I've posted countless times on how to do it on this forum, search and you'll find it.

Pull the glass and rubber all the way out and paint it the right way.

 

Hey Ranger429. Benn looking for your post. Can you give a clue when you may have posted it. Thanks

 

yeah I'm blind too lol

 

if your going to replace the seals anyway ( if they are original the probably should be replaced) just cut the things! if not the rear is fairly easy, just get on the inside of the truck and grab a couple decent straight screw drivers and work the screw driver under the gasket and basically push the gasket to the outside of the truck.

On the other hand most glass shops will remove and install the glass for free ( as they call it) if you buy new glass from them and I really love the way new glass looks in an old truck!
