Removing side windows

Just wondering how to remove the glass out of my doors on my mightyboy so I can prep and paint the doors,

I've taken the 2 Phillips head screws out of the clamps on the bottom of the glass but the metal tabs stay on the glass and they won't fit threw the gap at the top of the door where the seal/ cleaner things are....

Any help
Would be good thanks

You need to slide the window as far down as it will go, then remove the outside window plastic seal and inner felt seal. That gives you enough room to remove the glass.

Hey Matt,

The black outer piece of rubbery plastic - you pull upwards to remove.

The silvery felted piece on the inside - you pull towards where the black window seal sat.

I got some spares if you bust 'em dude :wink:

Yeah, the seal on the front window is the same for the rear. I pull the rubber in on the inside and feed 240v extension cord under the rubber to hold it all back a little, makes pushing the window out easier and puts less stress on the glass. I have done it a few times like this.
