Default Re: How to remove rear windows strut (lee.anderson)

its easy... there is a metal clip that retains the strut to the ball pin.

pry up the clip and it will take the tension off... and the strut will pull right off.

just make sure you have a piece of wood to support the glass... one strut won't do it.
