Default Rear window

Going to remove the rear window prior to painting my 75. Does not appear to be any type of fasteners holding it in. How is it removed?

There is a soft sealant around the glass that holds it. If you undo the inside molding have someone push on the glass from the outside while your inside to hold it from falling. :)

I had to use a razor knife to cut the seal. Then carefully pushed.

Hope this helps.
