I am shortly to remove all the glass from my '52. Any suggestions for the best methods?
I want to remove the rear (small early type) screen, rear side windows (2 Door) and front split-screen.
I would probably try the 'normal' method that I have used on other cars which involves pushing the glass out gently, evenly and firmly from the inside to the outside of the car, but I just wondered it some of you had found good methods for doing this?

Stanley knife blade - or a long flexible craft knife blade....
Slice through the rubber being careful not to damage the paint - if you cut to withing approx 2mm of right through, the rubber will split along the cut.
Not sure about the rear on a 52, but the later rears go inwards, so slice the rubber off the outside and the screen falls in complete with the rubber that you didn't cut off.
For the other windows, the normal way is to slice the rubber and lift out the glass to the outside.
