Rear Window Removal Question

[Showerhammer]

I have the rear window detached from the motor and arms but I don't know how to detach the part that holds the window from the arms.

I have seen people post about latches but I can't seem to find latches.

It looks like it slides out but I can't get the arm to move without the main bar moving.

I have tried moving the pin type things on the inside but to no luck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Rear window article available from Gary S

I was digging through the computer at work yesterday and came across the file with all the stuff from my article years ago In Toyota Trails about rear window operation and stuff on the FJ55. I'd be glad to send it in to Mud to have listed in the tech section but don't know how to go about it...

Which is the same as the left side of your pic (I’ve blown it up to focus on the clip/mount).

Thanks @gonzopancho. I completely missed that was the pin.

Will attempt later this evening to apply heat and some anti-seize stuff if needed.

Spray the chanell with WD40 heat will burn rubber.

I'd use a bit of penetrating oil then use a flat screw driver and a small to medium size hammer to tap out the pin on each side. Striking it should break it free and get it out.
They are a pain, I've got to mess with mine soon too.

and if that doesn’t work… get a bigger hammer.

Got the bigger hammer.

Next issue getting the glass down. It is at a different angle than the bracket.
