I have removed the front windshield in the race car,but I replaced with lexan. Removing the glass I broke it all up,it was kind of a pain shards popping all over.
The problem was,that the windshield removal tools' blade doesnt quite reach past the the bead of glue when cutting.And I got one of the better tools. The bead tends to wander from the edge of glass in areas also (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant2.gif) in the cowl area. No way the stipping would have gone back on. In my street car I also had the insurance take care of that one and had a pro do it worst I had was a bit of the glue on the paint..I see I got lucky. They replaced the stripping around windshield mentioned it required. That is one pricey windshield,I was gratefull insurance did it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
