Quoted from Garrett:The glass retention is typical Gottlieb. Tilt the backbox back board down. You must then slide the glass staright up then move the bottom of the glass into the groove and down, this is just behind where the glass normally sits. Then you tilt the glass toward the rear and bring it out through the backbox.
And that is why I hate the Gottlieb design. Terrifies me every time. Much prefer the William's/Bally approach to backglass retention.
Yeah, too high a probability of scraping the back dropping it into the slot or needing to handle the backside pulling it out. I just carefully unscrew the 2 L brackets like a wimp.
I’ve tried a couple of ways of blocking the clear windows before spraying. They all have their drawbacks. I wish I had found the superglue method (before spraying) earlier. That worked pretty well for me when I finally tried it. The triple thick only (with plastic wrap) didn’t work as well for me with loose ink.
