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?

Windshield removal is a pain. If you're going the destructo route a la Randy, have some fun and take a tooth sized piece of porcelain from a spark plug you've got laying around and throw it at the glass. There's some magical reaction that occurs that results in the whole thing shattering, but not in an explosive sort of way. It's like tendrils just move through the glass. You've really got to see it to believe it.
