Yes they are almost impossible to get off without deforming (ruining)
them & we gave up trying to save them & replace the inside pieces
whenever we change the glass.
You can try prying them on one end w/ small screwdriver and work down
the strip spreading them apart, but the plastic is so stiff it is not
easy & very time consuming to do.
F.Y.I. You will never get the pieces (new or old) to go back on
without taking the top section out & laying the section down on the
floor & tapping the pieces back on w/ a rubber mallet or a hammer & a
block of wood. This means it's very easy to break the new piece of
glass when you are putting the pieces back on. So save yourself a trip
& buy more then one piece of glass.
All of this may sound ridiculous but they are a very in-expensive
window frame that alot of mfgs used. We don't use them & all of ours
screw together from the inside.

They are on the inside of thedoor. If I try to pry them off with a putty
knife I am concerned about permanently deforming them. I can't find any
plastic caps covering a fastener that could be removed.

I'm trying to replace a window in an aluminum, sectionalgaragedoor
(OverheadDoorComapny).
The window seems to be held in place with 4 U-shaped plastic strips
with grooves on the inside. I'm not sure if they are also glued or
not. So, before I pull too hard and do more damage, what's the proper
procedure to replace a window mounted this way?
Just for clarity. Are these inside or outside thedoor?
My other comment apples to the inside stops.
