Factory Windows

[alden1957]

Hi.
Seeking advice as to how to remove factory windows to clear all rusty bits underneath..
I have not a clue how they come out without damaging them, so basic step by step would be useful...
After removal are seals reuseable?
Cheers..

two person activity!!!!! remove insert takeing into account that this has never been done before on your bus ! they'll probably split/break as they go hard and brittle start at the bottom inside corner and prise seal up along bottom edge (you can put a long flat screwdriver to hold the seal up but dont force it in) and a little way up the side be sure to apply firm pressure in that particular area. at same time use fingers to lift as much seal as possible and carry on pushing window out (second person outside of bus to catch window) its a b@st@rd to do but when it starts to go the whole of the bottom will pop out and you can slide the glass out of its apperture! i did mine like this but others may have an easier way ! i sweated like a pig and i only did one side !!!!!

Single person activity................

lift the edge of the inside lip with a convenient tool,tuck this edge behind the metal lip,move along the window repeating,push the window outwards frequently to increase the gap.when you reach around half to two thirds of the circumfrence,move outside,slide fingers behind seal and pull gently untill window and seal come out

Its a relatively easy job,made even easier with two pairs of hands,patience is an important requirement

Refitting is a doodle in comparison,but definitely requires two people

Sharp objects crack windows, so I now use flat bits of wood, some lubicant helps get them back, but not washing up liquid which has salt in it.
rust seems to be worse on after market windows where hole left unfinished
