how hard was it to take out the rear side glass? and why did you choose to do so?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Taking the glass out is the right way to paint a car. You get in the areas where it matters, when you go butt up against molding it can chip very easily there. When we painted my car, I had a glass comoany come and take out the glass, they used a big razor blade tool that cut all the glue off the inside of the window, had to do it from the inside.
