This is the windshield, and rear window trim tool I use. It works great.

Vodka, with all the work that the small window and plug is going to involve, you do not think a large window/no vinyl would be better??
That's the one to use!!
It's harderfor me to get a big rear window the interior parts around the window and another dome light I guess.

I can understand that.
I tried to reach the screws from the underside with a cutting wheel, but it's too tight to reach them. I will try a hand metal saw, but I'm not sure if I have the room for it either

Will a compact air chisel get in there?
Thank you! It's a lot of fun to restore every single part but the other side is a lot of frustrarion when I find broken parts or unexpected damages... But until now, I don't regret the decidion to restore this besutiful old lady!

That doesn't sound good...

I do have one, I could try that!
Why? I do not regret it!?
I have the option to get electric door lock motors. That else would I need to retrofit this system?

Miscommunication due to language differences.
In English grammar, that reads as,
BUT, until now, I have no regrets.
It sounded like you had no regrets, up to until now.
I have done this to my '69 Coupe and interestingly the car was prewired for power door locks. I installed the motors and got the proper switch bank for both sides. I can't remember if there was a relay or not, but at least the wiring was all there. Check your harness to see if yours isn't the same.
Ok, got it. No. I do not regret restoring this beautiful old lady at all!
I will check my wiring harness, but according to the FSM, I will need two relais. Does anyone ever retrofit a modern after market power door lock system?
Yes, I did my 300 with a Spal kit. http://www.spal.com/spal_accessories/eng/products/door_locking.html
It was an easy install. I even used the factory bolt holes in the door. The hardest part was getting the new wire through the existing harness, but that wasn't a real big deal.
When I was researching doing this myself, the Spal name keep coming up as the product to buy and the other ting was to not buy anything from Autoloc.
I then hooked the door locks into a keyless entry alarm system. An 80's vintage electric trunk lock is hooked up too so I can use the key fob to open the door locks or the trunk.
But... If you want, I have a set of door lock relays I took out of a derbied Imperial that I can part with.
Can you get at the underside of the bolts enough to get a pair of vise grips on and loosen them from underneath?
