Title: Removing Wing Windows from a 41 60S
Post by: Ohjai on January 20, 2021, 06:46:01 PM
I have the door card removed, now I need to remove the wing window.  I have the mechanism removed, the wing swings freely, but I can't move it up or down to remove the wing itself.  I am in the process of replacing the gaskets, and the wing has to come off to insert the wing pivot through the gasket.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is from memory but the concept should be correct.  You have to press the wing down into the rubber and be at the right angle to clear the pivot point at the top.  The problem is the old rubber will not compress.  You have to cut the rubber out then all is free.
