Just curious if anyone might have some detailed information about removing the sail panels on an 87 GT.

there is a string installed at the factory. IF you can find the fishing line looking string just pull it and out comes the window intact and not mess to clean up.. i had to take the inside fiberglas piece out and smack the window with a hammer.. it's plastic so it wasn't really messy just a pain... i replaced them with units from the Fierowarehouse

If you get them out using the "fishing line", good for you. I tried it but the line just snapped. I wound up busting them all up and removing them in pieces. Clean up was tough, too. But others on the list have had better luck using the product called "Goof Off" (or something similar) to remove the glue.

The good news is that installation is a snap.

Good Luck,
Roy

Doug at Fierowarehouse makes timted versions. The tint is actually in the plastic. Tinting with film would be problematic, but not totally impossible I suppose. But if memory serves me, the tinted versions are the same price.

I have heard that a cable like the ones used for brakes on a bicycle. using the fishing line method...you can not only move it and it won't break but you can also saw with it alittle bit, aslong as you do it carefully as not to cut the plastic. good luck!

on the removal piece again ... I just removed my passenger sail panel because it was cracked and it was really starting to annoy me so I put a new one in ... I removed it with cut lanyard. You know the flat ropes that you use to hang stuff around your neck or for your keys ... I cut off one end of it to make a long flat string and it worked great ... and it odviously didn't break the lanyard ... and no (more) breaks on the sail panel.
