How to remove glass baffles

Ew, that sucks! I had to remove a baffle to replace with a different height, and couldn't get mine out, so I used a hammer. You probably don't want to do that!

Use a stick to get between the baffles?

Depending on the space between the glass, you might luck out and just use a razor.

razors work or get the blades from like an exacto knife they work too

a LOT of patience!!!! I had to take one out cause of a design flaw.
I used a razor and slowly slid it between the glass and baffle. Took many tries to get it through.

use the fishing line one at a time. Drop enough down the narrow side of the last baffle, pick it through from the side you have room on, and then floss away. Shouldn't take much to do it. Once you get one side removed, and exacto knife for the other as you bend the baffle out to the side. Repeat as needed

Thanks for all the suggestions.
