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?

I guess I'll be doing this in a few months. My mechanic is a pro at this. I've helped him do numerous windshields. Other shops used to call him in to do windshield jobs for them. Can't wait to lose the wait.
It all comes down to technique and practice, just like anything. |
