May I ask why you want to risk busting the door glass if it isn't broken already? and even if it isn't broken, why you want to (need to) remove it?  sounds like making more work than you need to.

the drivers window is chipped and neither window crank is operating correctly even when oiled. one crank has alot of sisde to side play in it and that makes it hard to operate. the doors also have surface rust inside and out and some dents so i planned on cleaning them out, pounding out dents and repainting the inside so i dont end up with rusted out doors later on. I'd just feel safe with the glass out especially since the rubber tracks are gone and the glass rattles against the metal whenever the car or door is moved.

1/4 inch drill took the rivets right out. i thought there would be a way to get them out without removing the rivets but they are out of the car now and safely packed away where they wont be rattling around anymore.
