New style Dodge truck back glass

[pitt]

Is there a easy way to cut these out?

[AGSS]

These suck, however I cold knife from the inside. inorder to do this you will have to use a short cold knife blade 3/4 or shorter or you will scratch the pinchweld.

Thanks I'll try that. The last one was out of a salvaged truck and i use a long knire and cot it out from the inside and that was a pain.

I concur...these suck ROYALLY!

There is no real easy way to do them, but cold knifing them for the inside with the special inside cold knife blades seems to work okay. Still very time consuming though.

I cut one out this week useing a long knife seemed to work ok

Is that the one with a hard encapsulation over the urethane?

If it is, then use a dremel with a cutoff wheel to get the hard stuff out of the way. Then I use a short utility knife to carefully slice the bottom urethane. Once the bottom is free you push out and can cut the sides free. The tension will ease the cutting.

Then I go outside and support the glass while slicing the top away.

If you've got two people one person can sit in the bed with a pair of channel locks and peel the encapsulation (on the bottom) back so that someone inside can cut with a razor knife. Still a pain in the bootie and this only works if the center pane is broken/missing.

found a new way if you are cutting out a good back glass use a propane torch to heat up the metal the use a cold knife to cut around it the cut the top with a long knife

i had to take the back seat out. then take headliner down and move it foward. then use coldknife around inside except bottom where the bracket is. i used a razor knife.took a long time. does anybody have a better way.

There is no easy way. I have tried every thing in my bag of tricks.
