<VV> Removing the back glass... EASILY

[FrankDuVal]

Interesting concept.

I have a pneumatic tool from years ago that auto glass installers used.  
Works like one of those electric muli tools (Fein, HF, Milwaukee, etc) 
It uses a sharp blade instead of a toothed blade. Worked great on 
Urethane sealant mounted glass.

The tool that was a sharp putty knife like blade mounted on a Sawsall 
was from removing already broken windshields. A little too rough force 
to not break glass, but did cut urethane well.

Glue/tape a piece of cardboard to the offset blade, where that blade would touch the glass. 4. From the inside of vehicle use the tool/blade and make several (like 10) passes around the window until you can hear/feel the teeth hit the metal of the car body 5. You may have to go high or low, or both (on the glass or on the metal) to cut away/separate that cord from window/body... BUT THAT TOOL IS THE TRICK (if it’ll work on the Corvair body/window gasket channel) ! Don’t push it, let the tool and the blade do the work. Take frequent breaks to let the tool, glass, metal, and cord cool down. Clean the tool at that time as well.
