I am trying to replace the glass in my flip out quarter windows. The glass is enclosed in a solid (no visible seam) frame. How do I remove the old glass and install new glass in existing original frame??

Tom, I have removed the window from the frame like the instructions you posted said. I need to remove the glass from the small metal frame that actually touches the glass. This frame has the swivel post attached, and closing latched attached to it also. From what I've been told the new glass will NOT have this frame with it.

I am sorry but I have never tried to replace the glass in the frame. Looking at your photo, it appears to me that there might be seams at the 2 pivot points. Sand the paint off of the edge of the frame in those 2 places to see if you can see a seam. You may have to drill out the rivets, replace the glass and then install new rivets. The reinforcements may be hiding the seam(s), use a utility knife to slide along the glass and clean the area to determine if there is a seam in that area. We do know that the glass had to get into the frame somehow, so do some exploring. Tom

Oh Tom, you've let me down..............actually I have been thinking the same thing, there has got to be a seam somewhere. Once I get the replacement glass I'll see if it comes with this frame or not. I can not be the first guy trying to replace these windows....can I??
