Backglass Lift Channel Removal
« on: January 18, 2010, 07:01:50 AM »
Hi Guys

Does anyone has any tips on the removal of a backglass Lift Channel?

I want to remove the existing lift channel and put it on my NOS backglass of Devils Dare.

I pushed really hard on both ends to try and get it off or even started but it didnt even budge. I was concerned I may snap or shatter the old glass everywhere so I stopped and thought I'd ask this group.

Looking at it from the ends I see that it tapers back quite a bit to "grip" the glass. Maybe I should buy a new one and forget about it?

Your help is appreciated.

Regards
Clive

Thay are not easy to get off, mainly cos they have double sided tape on them also... this needs to be cut awat with a razor before you have any chance of getting it off
