mk2 escort windows and engine box removal tips
Im almost ready to remove all the glass on my escort any tips or hints on how to do this the correct way. All rubbers are fairly new so id like to reuse. Is there a tool i can buy to make life easier and safe the rubbers from damage. Also when removing the engine will a pinto and type 9 box come out freely in one go or should i just take the engine out and take the box from underneath ??

I removed my glass with a flat screwdriver by pushing the lip that is inside the car underneath the lip and outside. Do it half an inch at a time and when you have done both sides plus the top (or bottom) of the screen it will just pull out.
The engine and box can come out as one.

if you grind the tip of the screwdriver to round it off then file it smooth, if the front screen is toughened glass put the passenger seat right back then put your foot on the top corner, apply firm pressure then use the screwdriver to start lifting the lip, as it starts to pop out just move foot along and do same again with screwdriver
