Mike, I don't believe you can do a job you'll be happy with in the long run,
unless you remove the window.
I'd certainly take it to a glass shop if you've got any fear about getting
the glass out safely.

Exactly my problem. The hardtop I have bought was painted red (very
poor job at that) to match the PO's Bugeye. My car is Old English
White. Just need to paint it back to the original color. Do you think
I should just mask the rear window off, or take it out? Would not like
to break the Triplex glass if this is likely.
