Can glass be removed ??

Parting out a couple of cars and wondering if anyknown knows if the front, back, and rear side glass can be removed.

Anyone done it??.....or seen it done ?????

One glass man told me ..." Can't do it...the glass is bonded to the rubber trim"..

But, ....looking at the www.Subaruparts.com....it shows the rubber seal surroundng the front and back glass is a separate (buyable??) part.

it is bonded with a rubber as the guy said... not all people are skilled to remove it.
i know when i did a paintjob to our Mercedes 300 CE, the rear glass is similar to the SVX glass. i paid $75 just to remove it safely, only two guys in Lebanon are skilled to do it. Paid $50 to get it back....
so it can be removed but you will have to spend big $ which are useless....

Ask Dayle I think he mentioned something about glass removal.

I paid the guys that work for our dealership. They took out both front and back for around 100 bucks. So it's not too bad.
