> Hi Bob,  You don't have to remove anything but the inner frame to replace just the glass.  Only take off the whole frame if you need to replace the frame to shroud seal(THAT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE CASE OF BEER JOBS).  I think you have to remove the top outer frame and the screws on the side pillars in the door openings on each side.  I think then the inner frame will slide out.  I'm glad you got the Pilkington glass.  I got one of the less expensive screens and it was not wide enough to seal from side to side. After spending the extra $300 or so for the Pilkington the seals went on better.  Take care,  George Haywood, '65 bj8
