I visited the current resting place of Felicity and removed all the items that would ensure I had only the body to contend with when removing the rust, replacing metal as required and a paint job.
The windows where the first things to be removed. There are videos online that show how to remove the glass with the seals intact. But mine where cracking and it is easier to cut them off. So I did.
The same procedure follows for all the glass, not including the doors.
From the inside I cut away all the rubber that is holding on to the glass. The rubber is pretty thick and I had to make two cuts. The first is depicted below. The second cut removed the rubber to the left of the blade in the picture and was made at right angles.
As I cut I just pulled at the rubber and hoped it would continue as much as possible, reducing the amount of cutting required.Then I was left with the rubber on the window only. I only removed all the rubber on the rear windows as they would not push out and I was afraid of breaking the glass. On the rear and front windscreen I only removed the top and side rubber. They both came away very easily.On the outside I made a cut and the rubber pulled free very easily.
At this point the window was free and I just lifted it out.It didn't tak too long to remove the rest.
