Could someone help me out on how to do this?, maybe a step by step or something. I don't even know how the standard side windows come out.
Any help is appreciated.
I haven't ever done this BUT it is in the plans in a couple of years.
What I did was part out my original Turbo Wagon, it was a Cruiser. When I took off the panels there was a bunch of screws that held the Panels on from the inside through some metal Tabs that were Welded on the car from the Factory. Now I didn't cut those Tabs off due to me planning on Welding my panels on my Deluxe Wagon and smoothing the lines so that it is all blended. There were 4 Screws on the Back of the Panel by the Hatch and also 4 screws up Front behind the Glass frame. Thats all the Input I can give you on that.
On the Glass, I was going to take the glass out when I painted the Interior Metal. I tried to take the Chrome Strip out thinking it would close down the rubber seal enough but that wasn't the case! So I'll pay attention to this topic to see if anyone chimes in on how to remove the Glass.

Never mind about the windows (unless there is an easier way of getting them off), I got them out today with a screwdriver at the rear corners and just kept pressing in the rubber (kind of like taking off a tire) enough to wiggle it out. The opening windows gave me the most trouble, I broke all four hinges off at the plastic. Can they be fixed if I ever wanted them back on?
Don't feel bad, I broke the plastic hinges trying to get mine out too
