to remove the glass from the door tops you have to undo the little screws in the runners, which are buried in the felt of the runners, the runners are made off ally and if memory is correct i think there are four screws in each runner and you will need a small flat head scew driver have fun, regards jim

If you are only replacing the glass, you only need to take out the top channel. Try slotted screwdrivers and pointy ones - somebody may have done it before - guaranteed you might have a mix - nothing is ever straight forward on a landy. If the screws are tight try tapping the screwdriver with a hammer. Don't hit too hard though as it may go through. If that fails try using thin chisel or blade between the frame and window channel.
