Well today I started (and finished) my pre-painting windshield project…and it was super easy. I have a convertible, so removing the trim was as simple as making sure to remove all the screws. Once the trim was removed (excepting the exterior piece that runs along the bottom) I cut the seal along both “A” pillars and along the top…from the outside. I then proceeded to gently push the window up and out from the inside. I used my feet, at first, as suggested by Roger and that helped “break” the seal. After the window was out, the frame cleaned-up easier than I thought it would with only “Goof-Off” and elbow grease. There was very little rust (see image 1) and I could not be happier with the results. I will work on polishing the stainless in the weeks ahead and have a couple of leads for installation of a new windshield…but first things first. Again this forum has been a great place to learn. Roger your tips for removing the window were right on. Thanks!
