How easy to remove?

its bonded. so i should imagen it will be hard to get it out on one go :(

might be able to cut what you can, then 'cheese wire' it, but i have never done it, nor even weighed it up....

Thought it was bonded, there is some rust on mine right by the glass, worried when it is resprayed it will come back if the glass isn't taken out to treat it?

I am a certifed expert at this now!!!!

forget cheese wire (or try it and get annoyed at how you scrap loads of paint of ya car)

Get ya self a carving knife - thin enought to flex alittle..and two hours. The bonding is a 16mm wide strip so it takes two or three scores to get thru. Score/slice and slit do not saw. but its easy enough.

In the corners are plastic height setting pads. Your knife will go thru these. (cheese wire will not) be persistant. they are the hardest part.

Start in the centres and work to the corners.Very important Knife gets stuck any other way.

the glass will flex to so don't panic to much. and its very very light.. its your tailgate metal that weighs 30 kg on its own.

additional: the outer water seal will easily pull out(OK with care and attention, lets not be a bull in said china shop) leaving approx a 10mm gap between glass and tail on exterior. Start peel in top corners from under the plastic corner caps. apply wd40 or silcon spray as you work. do not tear it!!!! and kneed it back into place with fingers(more lube again) do not stretch during refit as it will just settle how it chooses to in a few days anyway.

I think this might be all that is required really. forget removing glass.

Is yours all sorted now Sherrgar? Thinking of organising a meet.
