FWIW I think that's your best option. I've now excavated my UP diner body shell and the windows are individual parts which were obviously inserted from the outside with a bead of glue around the edge to ensure they stayed put. I got two of the larger windows to come out but all the others are rammed in place and won't budge. There is also detailing behind the windows of the diner kitchen compartment that I can't work out how to remove without damaging it.
However, more important is that the edges of these windows are silver whereas the SP Daylight parts are described on LionelSupport.com as black. They do indeed look black on the Daylight Diner I have so the ones from this shell wouldn't be a match, even if they could all be extracted.
