Radar Arch Removal and Reinstall

[aksmith]

Tglass... Did you have any trouble removing the arch? I have two screws on the lower edge each side that won't come out.... Any ideas???

aksmith,
they might have nuts on the back which you can get at through the round hatches outboard of the seats. that's what mine has. if you've taken off the nuts already, youll need to get in there and push the screws out somehow. find someone with small hands.

When you remove the exterior frames can you take them off without removing arch or does arch have to come all the way off. 

When you remove the external frames, the glass will stay in place.  There is another layer of adhesive and sealant holding it in place.  I had mine like that for 3 weeks while I stripped and powder coated the frames.  No leaks.
