I'm swapping out my quarter glass and I want to have my polisher shine up the stainless trim.

Any suggestions on how to remove the quarter glass as one came out easy but the other one's kind of a pain in the butt?

I figured it'd be best to keep the stainless trim attached as it has rivets holding it in. Does that sound correct?  I figured it could still be polished even though it's attached. Am I right?

Thanks

It can take bit of wiggling, but they pop right out.  I polish the stainless while it's still riveted to the lower section.  It's a pretty easy piece to polish.  :alan2cents:

Thanks Cody.  So you don't use a screw driver or any other tools to pry on the glass?  This one is stubborn.

I have a 1/2" x 2" x 3" block of hard plastic (UHMW) I've used it & a hammer to tap the trim off the glass....

Yep, that or a wee hunk of hardwood with a good sharp edge to it and walk it up and down the edge while spanking it. Take it easy or you'll bend the division bar doing it and/or dent it.  :cheers:

Thanks for all your help guys. I was able to get it out.  I used a heat gun and pried on it under the glass.

I was just kind of freaked out because I was probably close to breaking the glass but once it loosened up a little bit I knew I could do it.

Thanks

That's good news!

Glad to hear you got it off, but be really careful with a screwdriver on the glass. It's tempered (all except the w/s) and will take an amazing amount of abuse- as long as you don't disturb it's surface tension and that's why even a small chip in an edge can cause it to "blow".  :cheers:
