Reply to "windsheild removal"

The windsheild is held in place with the gasket forming a "pinch" seam around the window frame of the car. Use a blunt puddy knife and work the gasket from inside the car back to expose the steel frame of the car. Slide the blade around the window to make sure it is free, it will only go in so far but if someone glued or tried to seal the window it might free it. Otherwise you are stuck cutting the gasket.

If it seem loose, starting on one corner you can slowly push the window out of the car. Like mentioned in the first post, using you feet to push out from inside the car. Two people might be helpful, one pushing the other working the gasket to make sure it does not bind. It should slowly ease out of the frame. If in doubt, best to hire a professional. The rear window is held in the same manner. For a easier time, use soapy water to lube the gasket.

Re-installing the window is amzaingly easy and requires some rope. Place the rope in the slot where the car's steel window frame was. Set the window on the outside of the car and line up as close as possible. From inside the car, slowly pull the rope. The rope will open the gasket and if lucky will snag onto the steel frame and suck itself in. Working around the car, it should seat right in. Some light taps with a rubber mallet on the chrome trim area and the use of the puddy knife to make sure the gasket is not piched. You might want to consider using some sealer on the metal, these things are known to leak so every bit helps.
