[DeTomaso] Removing rear quarter windows

[Christopher Kimball]

Mike,

Mine came out pretty easily since part of the channel had rusted away!  I 
started with the lower point, lifting the rubber on the inside of the engine 
bay and gently pushing outward and once most of the rubber had been pushed 
and outward sligthely, the window popped right out.

This may or may not be the proper way of removing them, but I do know that 
to get them back in you run a string around the window in the rubber channel 
and once the window is partially back in place, you simply pull the string 
out little by little and doing so pulls the rubber over the metal lip to 
replace the window.
