How to remove glass from frame?

[andy_h]

Re windscreen:

 

So I've removed the top frame (noting the wooden dowels) which leaves the bottom metal frame still stuck to the glass. How does this come off as I've tried and crushed the ends of the screen where the heated cables are but can't get it to budge off the glass.

 

Any ideas?

 

I need to save the rubber for re-use.

 

Thanks,

Andy

there is nothing other than the rubber holding it in. I used a weak solution of fairy liquid.

Remove the c/sunk screws in the lower corners then pop of the bottom section. Glass will then draw out of the upper frame section. Don't try to do it quickly, just lay it down flat and apply pressure and it'll easily come apart. The screws go into small triangular pieces ... check the orientation and make a note ready for reassembly, it's not obvious.

Hammer & chisel?

Or is the windscreen still intact?

Wear some light work gloves, glass can hurt.

Second Elie's suggestion. Lay the glass flat. Wood on glass and slide hammer on glass to hit wood at various points along its length.
