I would think if you pulled out the lock stripe (I think it has that for the chrome moulding) then get a buddy on the outside of the window, you get inside and push it out with your feet real slow. Work your way around the window. I think it will work with the rear window also. But see if anyone agrees or has another idea before you try. Or try posting this in the Type 3 section. _________________

I'd just cut out the rubber and discard it. Buying replacement rubber will be easy & cheaper than having to find & buy new glass. You just may end up cracking it trying to save the old weatherstripping. _________________ 1947 Typ 11a

I agree with 1227VW. It is also going to be really stiff if you do get it out in one piece and will probally leak. |

i would say cut the rubber. they aren't expensive and fairly easy to come by (at least i didn't have problems) i know the windshield is pretty easy to put back in just using some nylon "twine" that is fairly thick and just working it around |
