Vent Glass Removal

How do I remove the vent glass from my '53? Can I easily remove the vent window trim or is it pretty permanent? The area pictured where the trim attaches to the door is the area in question. Will I have to drill out what appears to be a rivet? Also, how do I get the glass out of the metal trim? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Vent Glass Removal

The glass is just pressed in the frame with the gasket.
lub, yank, and pry it out
New one goes back in the same way

Re: Vent Glass Removal

I used some mineral spirits and pried around on it with a screwdriver. It was in a couple pieces when it came out but it was already shot anyway. Ready for new glass now. Thank you all for the help.

Re: Vent Glass Removal

do a good cleaning on the glass frame - make sure you get it rust free ( if there is rust)
also if you are using new window rubber - use warm water and dish detergent - soak the new stuff
will make it go in easier --- good luck
