Racer2172, I think that would be a good idea that you had to remove the old glass and get things cleaned up. I worked for an autoglass company in the late 80's and early 90's. If I was doing a job like that, it would have been appreciated by me, plus you get to check for rust and learn how they go in. Here is a pic that I took off of the internet of a hook tool. For anybody removing or installing windows that are in gaskets, it is a big help. A cotter pin extractor will work too, but not as good as these tools. These tools are for working the gasket into or out of the cab, it is best to not use metal tools on the edge of the glass. Plastic sticks are what you want if you need help to coax the window into the gasket. The hook tools will help to get the trim into the gasket as well.
