Currently I'm engaged in refreshing and replacing a number of items in my engine compartment, and to do so removed the two small side windows. Access to many things just becomes infinitely easier with the windows removed. Of course, I also removed screen and the two side filler panels over the gas and expansion tanks.

Have any of you done this and found a way to make it easier to remount the windows? I wish I had thought of this forty years ago, but now that it's getting hard to climb into the engine compartment this is almost mandatory to remove the windows for service.

On my 74 Euro Pantera, I recently removed an original side window for the same reasons you described.  From inside the engine bay, you push the window out.  It did not want to come out at first.  Then I sprayed it with silicon lube and used a small hooked tool to loosen the rubber lip.  It eventually it loosened up and came out just fine.  I put the rubber and frame back in open just by hand.  When I eventually put the glass back in, I will use parachute cord to pull the rubber lip in place.
