Went to Home Depot yesterday and no automatic hole punch (that's Canada ay). The only one they had had a very sharp point on it and didn't look at all suitable for the job. Husband had the idea of using a diamond tip drill and just drill through the inside pane. Think I will keep him away from this job. If he does that I still won't able to clean or seal the gd things. We had a real gully washer of a down pour last night and only 1 little leak above one of the vista views must find proper sealent and do above all windows. Onward and upward

The tape is a great idea. Helps keep the glass from going all over.
I broke the first one. Roadside Front... All the glass came out nice. I scraped it off. Then I used a knife to cut away the rest of the seal. I am going to break another one or maybe both that are left if I get time tonight. Then it is on to the front wings. Hate the thought of breaking those. I have mosture in-between and it looks like thats the only way. Bad thing there is if you happen to break both and can't get a replacement, then your stuck buying 2 cause as I understand it the new ones are solar gray........................
