Gary,
Thanks for the tip.
Will it do any damage to the finish on the back of the glass?
I don't care about the chrome, just the glass.
I clean everything in gasoline and my friends keep telling me one day I will have the cleanest parts but no longer a garage on the foundation.

I don't know what year you are talking about but I have successfully done this on a 73. I used lacquer thinner without any damage to either the reflective part of the glass. The trick is to leave it overnight (hopefully somewhere where the fumes won't be objectionable - your garage?) and then try to wiggle the glass out. If it is still tight, soak it somemore.
The lacquer thinner disolves the adhesive which looks like silicone. You can reattach the old glass to the new base using silicone adhesive btw.
