Glass removal: front and rear
#11
Smarta$$.
I called another place that will do it for $100 each (At my location. They did say they can't garuntee the glass will be ok when they pull it out, and said specifically that the installer thought the front would most likely come out in pieces. It'* looking more and more like "hammer time"

If you're going to do that front glass yourself, with either fishline OR hammer, do yourself a favor and use some removeable tape and some plastic inside to catch all the glass pieces that might get loose. You'll be glad you did.

There is a tool w/ blade bent sideways 90 degrees. It has a cable w/ a t-handle to pull blade. I've used this and a small braided wire. The braided wire cuts better than a smooth wire. It'* work but you can do it. Just don't get in a hurry. The bladed tool or wire are cheap.

Pull the molding off carefully. Next, get a piece of thin music wire at the local hobby shop and wrap it around a couple of dowels or sawed-off broom handles. stick the wire through the goop, loop it up on the other side, and pull it through the sealant.
Should work.
