How to Remove Glass from Rear/Quarter Panel Windows
I am in the process of removing the glass from the windows in my 1927 coupe. The photos show the windows. I have removed the hardened rubber on the inside of the rear window, but I haven't tried to "push" the glass out. I would appreciate any comments/suggestions on how to proceed.

I got the glass out of the three windows. Chipped the hardened rubber out on the inside and carefully pushed each out.

Re: How to Remove Glass from Rear/Quarter Panel Windows
Just what I would have advised. Glad you figured it out on your own. Usually the most obvious solution is the correct one (see “Occam’s Razor”). The more experience you get in working on this beautiful T, the more confidence you will find, until the forum is the last resort. Good job. Keep it up. Jim Patrick
