Time for another silly question.  I have all the windows removed, and nearly
all the tint scraped off.  It was exactly like everyone told me, smelly,
tedious, not hard, use lots of spray.  However, what I can't figure out how to do
is to remove the sliding windows.  Clearly it is not a big deal, since they
were taken out to be tinted in the first place, but I'm not quite getting it.
Bentley says to slide the weatherstripping out of the track and then lift the
window up and out, which would definitely work.  However, what it doesn't ever
say is how to put the window back in.  I can glue the weatherstrip back in, but
then I can't put the window in because there isn't clearance.  I could always
brute-force it and spread the aluminum frame enough for clearance, but that
sure doesn't seem the way to go.  So, I am again looking for advice.

I also noticed while detinting that my rear window has the defroster buggered
up.  I'll probably just get a new one, they are available for about $225 (in
for a dime, in for a dollar...)  If anyone on the list wants a perfectly good
one minus the defrost let me know.  Which reminds me, I also have a set of
brown floor mats, including the center piece, that I no longer need.  They have
some wear to them, but the price is right: free (just pick up the shipping cost
is all.)

Speaking of wear, I got a bottle of gowesty's fiberglass/rubber
restorer/protector.  Holy cow!  I sprayed up 1/2 of a bunch of matching parts, and the
difference is really dramatic.  No nasty stench either, in fact almost no odor at
all.

thanks again
