Vent window disassembly

[69 origownr]

We are having trouble removing the glass from the vent window frame. Can you please advise how to remove the pin at the bottom of the vent window?

It is just a roll pin and should press out or tap out.

Thanks but the pin is in a blind hole. I’ve tried putting blaster on it but it won’t budge.

Then grab it with a pair of vice grips.

Or drill thru center of pin and then switch to larger bit on other side

Did you ever get the glass out? I am looking into doing the same thing right now.

Soak the gasket with diesel fuel

Yes. Finally got the pin out using vise grips. Removing the glass from the frame took a little while but finally got it out using an exacto blade and prying gently with a screwdriver. The next problem is removing the chrome trim from the window frame. Anybody have ideas on this?
