hey Rick,
i am at this point with this project, 2.5years and still needs paint and interior, the little stuff is taking so long, i am ready to drive it

heres a pic of the car

To remove your glass you will find two small bolts attach the window to the regulator... Before you try removing the bolts spray them with the penatrating oil of your choice, tap them with what ever you can access them with & wait a few hours to let the oil work... Those bolts always break..

You may hear pros and cons against using 0000 Steel Wool and water on the (scratched areas), but personally I have only had good results using this procedure. However, I do believe that it all boils down to how you do it.
I would limit the procedure to only the scratched areas, using a circular motion and not applying (too) much pressure...experimenting as you go.

I've repaired a lot of scratches in my auto glass over the years. Just don't get gung-ho about it, take your time and test it gradually, and be sure to use (0000). Nothing less.

Good luck

hey Randy, do you mean there is only 2bolts holding the glass in? now once i get these 2 bolts out, i just lift out the glass?

at this point, i guess i am willing to try anything, so how do you use the steel wool?

Remove the trim panel, remove the upper steel trim.. lower the window to access the bolts... Soak the bolts.. wait.................................................................................. .................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................... .................................................................................................... .........Remove the bolts & lift the glass out

cool, i have not put any of this trim or upper steel trim on yet, it is still bare,

This is how I use it...
1.) Take (0000) steel wool and a small cup of water.
Wet the area of the major scratches or dip the steel wool in the water and start smoothing out the scratches on the glass in small circular motions (about the size of a dime or a quarter....

2.) Stay in one area for at least 1 minute constantly applying pressure in the same spot.
Wipe the area clean with a dry rag and check the progress. The amount of pressure you apply will be different on each application and should be monitored from time to time based on the results.

This will not make badly scratched glass appear band new, but it will (totally) remove a lot of the small scratches and (partially) remove many of the bad ones.

By lookin at your pictures, you should notice an immediate improvement after 5 minutes.

Good Luck

i think i may try this little trick before i tackle taking out the glass,
thanks eveybody for the input, i will get back with update after this weekend
thanks

Randy

Remember, if you don't see the results you want, apply a little more pressure....
