Wing window again..

I called most of the local glass shops to price replacing the wing in my 56, off the truck and in the frame is $65, that seems a bit steep to me? The best price I was quoted was $42 just to cut the glass. How do I get the old glass out of the frame???? And what holds the new glass in?

Thanks, as always.

Take a propane torch and warm the frame and the glue will release the glass. I always have the glass guys install. Sorry no help with the install back into the frame

Hmmm, the one piece glass is sounding better every day. You wouldn't think a vent window glass would be that much, but I haven't priced window glass in a while.

I just had both the windows on my 53 replaced. The total was $51.75 including the tax. Of course that was installing them myself. But I haven't priced the wing windows yet.

Seems a bit high to me, perhaps I will call a few more places. How do I get the frame out of the truck?

Thanks much.
