What is the best way to remove the glass out of the vent window frame, and the lock handle.
Thanks

I use a small drift to punch out the roll pin that is holding the handle onto the shaft.

To remove the glass from the frame I use a flat blade screwdriver that has the sharp edges removed. If you start at the top, the window can be gently pried out without breaking it. It is just a matter of working with it. A little window cleaner sprayed on the seal will help.

I use a punch and hammer to take the roll pin out. and a plastic block or wood block is what I use to tap off the metal off the glass, by placing it on a flat surface and spraying it with window cleaner then laying the block of wood on the glass and tapping with a hammer..
