As most of you know, Im in the process of painting my car. Looking to panel paint as much as possible. Can I pull the glass out of the hatch? I thought I saw someone do it before but wasnt sure.

Yes. It's bolted onto the glass. Be careful separating it once you get it unbolted so you don't crack the glass.

So maybe a heatgun to loosen the glue? I just dont want any tape lines on the car when I paint it. So far the bumpers are off, ground effects off, doors are coming off and want to pull the hatch glass
