Ok, heres 4 more pics with pretty arrows pointing out the obvious!

Why would they put a spray bar the entire length on the bottom?

Thats just a precausion! I'm a big guy myself and I top that rating. It didn't even creak once when I used to use it to climb up on roofs.

I got a bit of the old silicone ripped out, and almost ready to remove the bad piece of glass. I don't get much time at night to work on it, but the weekend is almost here (I work 6 days a week, thank god for sundays!).

If you call around to some local glass shops you would be suprised at the price of a replacement pane that is non tempered glass aka pane glass, sheet glass.Mesure thikness and dimensions and get a replacement .You will thank yourself in the long run.

Need some help here. I cannot get the glass separated. I have removed all of the silicone, but I am unable to pry the glass apart.

I had no problems when I was doing a 55, but this thing is HUGE and HEAVY. Need tips to get this glass off in one piece.

Thanks!

i cant remember if its alcohol or acetone that dissolves silicon (be careful), but put the tank so that gravity will let the solvent soak into the corner(s). dont be chistey with it, and stay ventilated. let it soak, but dont let it dry.
