Can anyone tell me how to get the rear window out of a 63 polara without breaking it ?? Thank you...

 

dont the windows of that year have the rubber rope going around the gasket? if it does pull that out, then you gotta pull the rubber back as you push on the windsheild then get something to go between the rubber and windsheild and run it around the edge, i have used screw drivers caution tho the metel could shattter it fast,, try plastic trim removel tools insted

 

Thanks Im going to try to get it out today..!

 

windows out...was very tricky for me anyway...no strings or anything you just had to pry it out of the rubber...i will get a pro to put it back in !

 

Get a new gasket for the install, it will go so much easier and less likely to leak. That 47 year old gasket is probably a bit dry by now.

 

Yes..It is very dry...Have a new one coming..I didnt think I was stupid till now..Lol I'm stuck trying to get the back drums off...Tried a wheel puller..a few hammers...wont move even a hair...Im stumped..

 

the drums are probly wore, did you back off the brakes?

 

Yeah...I got them off...Had to use a wheel puller though...Pass side came off good..Drivers side not so good...This time next year It'll be on the road...We took pics of all the stages so far..Hope to post them soon...Its pretty fun redoing a car like this! its my first rebuild..I'd like to thank you guys..I love this forum !

 

Hey Brian ,it is very easy to install the rear window ,you need the rope that fits into the rubber channel ,then i put some dish soap around the rubber were the rope is .At the top of the glass cross the rope like an x drop the bottom in and have someone hold the glass at the top ,and pull the rope slowly makeing sure the rubber is catching the metal.You wont beleive how easy it is and you will save money .When the glass is in tap it all around with the palm of you hand ,but not to hard ,just gentle.I just did my Plymouth .
