Removing window on 710

Post by CaptainRon »

Hello, help......I want to remove the driver's and passenger's side window for clean up/maintenance. Seems pretty easy to do looking at it. I see the 5 bolts below the window frame. After removal I can't seem to get anything to budge. Doesn't that frame piece just come out some how?....don't want to break anything lol....

I removed mines some months ago,
The bottom rail was glued, orange arrow,
Had to slide a knife, PITA, but did it.

Same as mentioned by others -- mine were tightly stuck and it took some quality time with a thin putty knife and patience so things don't get bent. Likely heating it would help as well.

Be careful when you put it back on that you don't plug up the drain hole.

I saw those drains, yes. I'll have to replace one side of tubing as it is absent. Does that just shimmy to the bottom of the door through that mid-hole in the door? It doesn't sit on any bottom fitting does it? I see the exit hole but haven't separated the two halves of the door.

Thanks for showing me that. I just got some new weather stripping for the windows so that will finish this portion of my truck that is in 500 pieces :D

For anyone in the market for drain tubes for the windows this product fits perfectly.
