Is there any real trick to it, or does it just pull right out? I want to get the frames powdercoated and clean up the glass as best I can before having 'em installed.

Would like to find out how to get new weatherstripping for mine.

Pull the division bars after removing screws AFAIK. Then spread the frame top to bottom & pull the glass out, one at a time. You can bend the glass a little, just don't exert any pressure on the edges, especially with a hard object like a screw driver or pry bar. Scribe each piece deeply where it won't show so you can still see it with the powdercoating., ideally with matching numbers at mating points.

Hey euclid, how many sections of that weatherstrip did you order? How about single channel stuff for the ends of the frames?
euclid said:2 lengths of it were just shy of enough to do the 2 windows. I used a tiny bit of the old stuff.
Don't know what you mean on the single chanel stuff... more info.
I don't see a reason to scribe them either. There is only one way the glass goes back in and latches correctly.
FYI, if you are going to tint the glass do it before you put the glass back in the frame. Tinted mine afterwards and it looks just a tinny bit better than crappy.

Thanks for the tip on the weatherstrip, Euclid!.
If you tint the glass before installing, be sure to leave it off the edges that go into the weatherstrip or it will come off as you use them & scrunch up the edges.
Had someone ask for clarification on the weatherstrip I used, maybe the tinyurl isn't working correctly.
