INOX works well on screws that have been together 40 + years and heating  
the screws also helps. Small butane torch works. If you have an area you need 
to  get a screw out but butane might damage paint or uph, use soldering 
iron to heat  head of screw.  Glass shops use release agent to help loosen grip 
of  packing tape that holds vent to channel.  HTH

Jim,

I have a Mk1 with the vent window out and I can send  pictures if you wish.
I have a few questions:

1.       Why are you taking the glass out (broken or leaking?)

2.   Do you already have the assembly out of the  door?

Be VERY, Very careful with those tiny screws because the heads  snap off
EASILY.  Be sure to soak them with your favorite rust  treatment like PB
Blaster.



Once I got my assembly out of the  door and got down to where there was only
the glass and the front/top/rear  surround, I used a small screwdriver to
very carefully insert between the  glass edge and the inside channel of the
surround.  The glass would  not come out any other way and I was down to no
longer caring if the glass  broke.  The glass didn't break.  I used the
screwdriver prying a  little alternating between front and rear channels and
just managed to  wiggle the loose from the surround.  I was more concerned
with not  bending the surround that I was with the  glass.
