From the Kakabox build thread:

To avoid having to dispose of a ~55" x 24" piece of automotive glass, which won't fit in my garbage can, I used a spring loaded center punch and...




BTW, I wore thick leather gloves and good eye protection while doing this. The glass shatters into millions of 0.10" x 0.10" cubes...and just falls away from the hatch. I spent the next hour removing the remaining urethane gasket w/a sharp bladed putty knife and sweeping up the pieces.



When I was finished, all that was left of the rear window was a small pile of glass in my trash bucket!

Thank you, I was talking about the rear hatch glass. The car had a broken window when i bought it, I am going to get the car running and start driving it, Seems that PipSqueek's rings are ever going to set so i have decided to pull the head and put it on the parts car, This will allow me to fix a few things on the ole Pip and do a few things to "Parts" while i am at it.
