I'm redoing a 58 bug and the chrome on this area is in bad condition, how hard is it to separate the glass from the frame if I chose to do a rechrome, and what do you use to reseal it .
Thanks Steve

Pulling on the glass with some slight force will seperate it from the frame. But be careful, the frame can easily be bent once the glass is out. When it comes time to install, Wolfsburg West sells the needed weatherstripping.
