I got the replacements from Detroit, and the window cleans up really well with cooktop cleaner! How does the old rubber come out? Slide it out, pry it out? Suggestions, please! Thanks

It should slide out of the chrome channel. Might have to lube it up to slide it out and not damage the chrome channel.
Take care as the chrome strip is a friction fit on the glass. I'm sure there's a way to remove it, clean up the edge of the glass, and reattach with a caulk, but I've never done it before.
Thanks for the stovetop cleaner tip on the glass...might have to look into that on some really crusty glass I have.

Removed the old seal, the new seal slides in and this little metal tab goes through the whole in the rubber seal.
Used some silicone spray as the seal was a very tight fit; which of course you want.
As we know with most repro parts they are usually a little off, the hole that was drilled in the seal was out of place so I had to drill a new whole and it had to be a little more oval for the rubber seal to fit over it.
Finished product, I am very happy with it and glad it was available in the aftermarket, mine have always looked like crap.
Thanks and thanks for the helpful tips and all the pictures! This will help me to put the whole window and guides back together!
