Ok, Thanks  I did look at his videos.. Very interesting.. I did see him putting the glass back in but nothing on removing it.. I will have to look at it closer..

It looks to me like he just carefully pried the rubber corners open a bit to slide the glass out. I'm sure the rubber is very hard and brittle by now, and will make removal a bit tricky. As shown on the video, Buzz's corners cracked in the process of removing / replacing the glass. You can use a dab of Permatex Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant on each corner to secure it back in place once the glass is cleaned if that happens. If the rubber is not at all plyable and you're afraid of breaking the glass, I would take an X-Acto knife and just slit two of the rubber corners (both on one side) in the middle. Once one side is out of the rubber you can just slide the other side out to safely remove it. Again, a dab of the silicone on each corner will secure it back in place. I used this method to secure the glass in my Model 41-245 Philco with a tenite dial bezel (after the molded clip posts on the bezel broke off at the slightest touch) and it worked great.

Incidentally, 'ol Buzz reflocked his dial backing plate with green flocking material. It appears yours was originally green as well. They fade to a brown color with age and light exposure.
