How do I remove the 1/4 window latch pin?


Recommended Posts

How do I remove the quarter window latch pin? The pin I am referring to is the pin that attaches the latch to the window frame bracket. I bought a new latch but I can't get the old pin out. If i was to press the pin one way it would hit the frame, but I can't push from the other direction because the window frame is in the way if that makes sense.

 

 

Thanks.

 

It's the pin that goes through the open hole in the pic below

for the life of me i cant remember how i did mine 

I think I used a short pin and lever to pop the pin partially out away from the window frame and then grabbed it with vice grips 

I know that metal bracket can be removed but cant remember if it can be done with the window glass in  

i might have even broke one side of the old latch to get access to the role pin
