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 believe the install kit I got last winter included the rubber stripping you mention and the rivets. The windshield needed to be trimmed a little to fit just right.
I didn't install vertical braces to support the window and my windshield was flexing a little at around 100 MPH and above at Putnam. It was a little disconcerting I must tell you and I planned to add the braces after that race. I got the 3/16" thick version for weight. |
