I believe the kit is the bonding that Mike reffered to earlier. And it protects the edges also like a rubber molding. Wonder if I should get it... I cant find any criteria on the install/requirments of lexan windshields in the CCR or the AI rules. What gives? Well I found min. thickness 3/16". Cant I just get some double sided puffy tape for between body and lexan. Follow up with the little aluminum clips w/ 2 screws each countersunk and the 2 vertical braces center. Clips at about 12" apart around edge. All after paint like Randys (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) around the edge on the inside. Is this the right way?

Benched Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 535 Joined: 16-March 04 From: Northern California Member No.: 273	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?
