Window Glass: Service and Repair

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION - Mustang
Before removing the exterior mouldings, it should be determined by the type of retainer used whether a respective door, quarter or luggage compartment trim panel must first be removed to provide access. If a weld stud is distorted or broken off, it should be replaced with a screw (Part No 379560-S101).

Removal and installation of the stationary quarter window is typical on all vehicles.






Removal
1. Remove interior garnish mouldings and outside drip rail mouldings.
Garnish Moulding Tool Usage
A. The interior trim garnish mouldings which surround the roof rail headers are retained by push-in spring clips. Use Moulding Tools T64P-42OO6-B and C (RH and LH) or equivalent, to remove mouldings with spring clips. If tools are not available, a tool can be fabricated and used to remove the interior trim garnish mouldings.

Refer to the following procedures for proper use of the moulding removal tool.
