GTV Rear Window Removal (was GTV Headliner Replacement)



Regarding the removal of the rear window, I was able to get mine out
without cutting the gasket.  I wedged body filler spreaders in between
the gasket and the body from inside the car.  I only did this on the
right side near the top of the window.  I then pulled the spreaders
back, lifting the retaining lip of the gasket.  With the gasket lip
lifted, I was able to apply gentle pressure and move the window outward.
I then moved to an adjacent section of the rear window gasket and did
the same thing.  I repeated this process until the rear window was
removed from the car without harming the gasket.  It may be important to
note that this gasket is only a few years old and still very pliable.
This may be more difficult on an older gasket.

Cheers,
Lawrence
