spiney_norman Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If you're painting it then it's really not worth leaving the glass in, it's about half an hour to get both screens out and the same for the door windows. Rear quarters probably a few minutes each. Definitely worth the small extra effort for the end result being that much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
