*300TD hatch glass removal??
I've removed the: wiper/motor, defrost clips and chrome trim. It seems that I just have the window gasket holding the glass in place.
Should the glass come out or push in?
I have the glass sold on craigslist and would hate to break it!
Thanks!

I'm trying to remove (intact) the rear hatch glass from my '81 300TD estate/wagon.

Anyone even know someone who's done this w/o breaking it? Its thin glass with a hole ground through it for the wiper. It seems awfully brittle.
Two person job or can I do it alone?
Is the gasket one piece or split?

I was hoping to have the glass out by now.

I considered that but it'd be a shame since the gasket is in great shape.
I cleaned it then sprayed with white lithium and ran a dollar store spatula under the seals.
Its loose. I just don't want to push when I should pull or vice-versa.

Push from the inside and have someone on the outside to hold it as it comes out. Start in a corner and take it easy or it will smash, you could also work the rubber on the outside with something stiff and plastic, don't use metal like a screwdriver. In all honesty I would cut the rubber. 9 times out of 10 it will come out ok and the 10th it will shatter into a thousand pieces. Far better to toss the rubber than the glass.
