I'm trying to get the windshield and rear side windows out of my S2 without breaking them. I removed the rubber around the windshield and it's loose but doesn't really feel like it wants to come out. Do I need to cut the remaining seal (or, if not, what DO I need to do)?

Also, what's the trick to getting the rear side windows out?

Thanks!

Good luck on the windshield. Even for a good glass guy, it's probably a 50/50 shot at best to get the windshield out intact. The rubber/adhesive stuff needs to be cut.

No relationship or knowledge of this company, just the first photo I could find online of the tool we used to remove my windshield. It already had a crack so we didn't make any effort to try saving it.

The rear windows have an aluminum channel that helps hold them from the outside. Look closely and you'll see where the two ends of this channel meet. Very carefully pry it out (the less you bend it, the easier it will be to re-install). Once that aluminum part is out, the window will push out from the inside. You may want to help the rubber lip up over the edge of the window opening to get it started (you'll understand when you see it).

Hope that helps.

Thanks very much. I have the windshield loose everywhere except the bottom and have been trying (without much success) to cut it loose with a wire I got from NAPA. I've ordered one of the tools you suggest (and am crossing my fingers). Thanks again for the suggestion.
