Removing Hatch Glass From Metal Hatch
Im trying to separate my hatch glass from the actual metal hatch, and im having problems with it. All of the nuts and bolts are off, but I think its urethaned together....How do I get it apart?
By the way, I searched and didnt come up with anything.

I'd be interested to know the answer to this as well -- I'll be swapping my glass for one with a defrost grid somewhere down the road.

Re: Removing Hatch Glass From Metal Hatch
I stopped removing mine, I am just gonna swap the whole hatch (if I continue) or i'll paint the metal since its rusting... and fill the gaps with some undercoatin

The trunk panel is held on with black sealant similar to the stuff around windshields
Use fishing line to get it loose
The black surround trim is just pinched on there
Move slowly and you can pop it off, but why bother
A replacement hatch is the easiest

Re: Removing Hatch Glass From Metal Hatch
I recently removed my hatch panel easlily by after removing all the bolts, dont forget the shocks as well, I took some wood wedges and placed them on top one on the edge the other in the center and last one on the oposite edge and used a rubber mallet and tapped all sides til I has able to pull it by hand and walla the declid is off

Re: Removing Hatch Glass From Metal Hatch
i just took mine apart a couple of days ago,i took a heat gun and put it on the high setting and moved it back and forth, be careful not to burn the paint off, so keep the heat moving, and slighty wiggle the metal, i will come loose pretty easy. it only took me about ten minutes to do. just remember that it is a pain in the *** to put back on, has to be done in the car so that the body lines still line up. good luck
