[s-cars] Removing Rear Window Glass - How to?

[Mark Pollan]

Hi:

 

My dear, dear 5KCSTQ is going to be put out to pasture.  She served me
extremely well but with 340K miles on the clock she needs a new clutch,
hydraulic system is leaking like a sieve, AC does not work, needs new tires,
etc.

 

I'm kinda sentimental as this was my first Audi and want to save the rear
window glass with the QUATTRO script in the defrost element.  How do I get
that bugger out without cracking the glass?  Piano wire?  Obviously at this
point in time maintaining the integrity of the galvanization is immaterial
so really would like to know the most expedient yet safe method.

 

Go ahead laugh if you want, I can take it.

 

Regards,

 

Mark
