Removing a door window frame
Hi all, I'm trying to separate the top part of the door (the frame where the glass winds up into) from the body of door itself. I know there are supports that drop down inside the door and I've undone everything I can but no luck. Is there some trick to it?
Topless is the only way to go

Patience, persistence, WD40 and a little bit of prying. One or both of the supports have a tab that likes to get hung up on everything.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Thanks Swerve, that'll give me some hints. If not I'll take the "bigger hammer" option one step further and put a jack in between the top of the frame and the door.

Re: Removing a door window frame
The three doors I've pulled apart came very easily. ( 1968, 1969) I just now counted the number of screws to be removed...seven is the number in mine. Good luck.
