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?

Tony

Percy's sells a bond-in place windshield I believe, but we used the rivet type.


Mike gosh darnit... Now unsure (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I was planning on p/n 01141-3. I don't know if that will be the correct one its the one they have listed for my car :shrug: I do want the one everyone else uses. I thought they only had one and the benifit was its prefit/cut. And all you do is put clips and rivets in a few different spots around it.
Hmm that makes me think is there any write ups on this install?

Jason(Jknight) that is interesting and if things go south...well I will give it a try for kicks (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Steve good idea to see if they have any blems... yeah I remember that post (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

From the sound of things odds don't look to good for getting it out in one peice.I'll get the stinkin little tool and try though. Oh its gonna bust I can tell I should just hit it with the porcelain and finish her w/ the BFH (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Naw worth a try.

Thanks for the replys guys!
