I have to get the windshield out to finish some stuff and I plan to replace w/ Percys SG. Does anybody have any personal experience removing the windshield.
I have done this before a long time ago(differ car) with a little hand held cutter bend to a 90 and a little pull cable for the other hand. It looks like the glue is deep though not like before.I figure this glass is worth something if I can get it out in one peice (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Any tips?

The tools you describe is what we used. My windshield came out in one piece, but I left it at my cage builder's for 2 weeks after I trailered my car back home. One day during that period the windshield fell over and a corner of it cracked. Already had it sold too. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Percy's sells a bond-in place windshield I believe, but we used the rivet type. |
