Reply to "Windshield and Rear Glass Removal"

I took my windshield out in August. The car was in the paint shop, and, after calling three glass companies, all of which stated no responsibilty for breakage, I decided that I would rather risk breaking it myself, than pay someone else to do it for me.
I used a coupe of tapered, nylon glass tools, (look like tongue depressors only tapered) to pry under the rubber gasket at each top corner of the windshield. Once the corners were broken loose, I simply used my hands to gently, push the windshield and weather strip out at the top, then got out and tipped it away and lifted it off.
Do not remove the metal trim out of the rubber until the windshield is out of the car. Also, install the metal trim into the rubber, prior to reinstalling the windshield.
I used a long piece of thin nylon rope, inserted into the rubber channel, after soaping the rubber, to pull the rubber back around the steel flange on the body. Everything worked great.
Good Luck
