[VAC] Safety Vue windows2

["Nick Novia" <nnovia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Harvey...and others,

In the 66-68 owners manual, it shows the procedure for removal of the windows.
 It is very clear and succint!

The problem is, it doesn't work for me.

The glass comes as an assembly from the supplier.(Philips) 

It is a pane of Corning curved glass, and the aluminum bar/hinge that it is
bonded into.  It happens that this bar is also made up of two separate parts.
 The top "hinge" and the "bar." The glass is bonded between them.
There is a clear picture in the manual.

The manual says to take out the entire glass assembly by;

1. Removing the "C" clip holding the raising bar to the assembly arm.
2. Then remove the screws closest to the top of the glass.(5)
3.Move the glass to a horizontal position, and then just apply pressure inboard
until the assembly clears the "head" (frame) and it will..here's the best part.."drop
right out!"

I have found the removal of those screws really helps nothing...except to facilitate
the separation of the two aluminum parts of the assembly.

I guess I will do it this way, although, I am really leery of removing the Corning
glass this way.  I don't want to risk breakage.  It's easy to separate them
when there is only a piece of plexi, or Lexan in there, but starting to "pry"
it apart is a whole new deal when you risk an "original" piece of Corning glass.


Thanks to all who have responded...this is a very gray area, and there are very
few of us that have delved into this area.  It's a learning experience...stay
tuned!
