Quarter glass removal?
Discussion
Hi guys hoping someone here will be able to advise me,
I am fitting perspex side windows in my track Alfa 147 3 door, but Im not too sure about getting the quarter glass out without breaking it (I want to sell it if possible). I have a rotary tool (Lidl dremmel type) so wanted to drill a hole through and then use a wire saw and wd40 to cut it out but I couldn't get the wire saw or a window removal tool at any motor factors today and I want to do the job tomorrow if possible.
I have a decent selection of tools at my disposal, thinking coping saw and blade wd40? I don't want to damage the paint or glass doing this, and my friend at the motor factors gave me the number for a guy that mechanics in the area use to change glass, so would his charges be worth more than Ill get for the glass? (hammer-time?)
Here's a pic of the window I'm talking about.

There's quite a thick area at the b pillar so don't know how to start at that.
Cheers for any help guys.
