    Ok, I've looked through about 40 threads. And I can't find out how to release the small plastic pieces that hold the window to the rail system. What's the trick? Does it take a special tool? I really don't want to break the window.
    :huh:

    the center piece is a plastic dowel, gently push it out or tap it out, and the plug will come out,,:tiphat:

    Wasn't there a picture of that posted, at one time?
    I position the window, where I can use a punch, to move the pin in a bit, then just pop it out the rest of the way.
