vent window glass removal

[stout22]

What is the trick to taking the glass out of the vent window frame? I'm having a hard time getting the glass free from the frame so that I can repair the post.

most any solvent like paint thinner or mineral spirits will soften the tape seal holding glass in so you remove. If you have a parts washer try soaking it in that.

Thanks I'll try that.

A heat gun will soften the tape and the glass will slide out of the frame.

Heat.

Soak them in a sink with hot water if you do not have a heat gun available.You can slice them out with a razor knife. Heat is the trick.

I tried the hot water yesterday and could not free the corner. Got it loose everywhere but the corner. I'll try the heat gun tonight.
