How do I ???

Remove the windshield frame from the windshield on my coupe ? It's a chrome frame like speedway sells and the glass needs replaced . I have no idea what kind of sealer/adhesive is holding it in . Is there some kind of solvent to try ? Would a heat gun be a good idea ? I'm sure it's been done before , just not by me . I sure would like to re-use this frame and save $300 bucks . Also , what's a reasonable price to pay a glass shop for the glass on a 3 window coupe ? Thanks

 

You might be able to take a knife blade or a razor blade and run it through the sealant. I have cut out windshields on other cars that way. Your glass shop might take it out and replace it for you. Flat glass isn't too pricey. Just shop around some.

 

The windshield should be installed in glass pack. It will soften with Lacquer thinners. Run a little around each side and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then you should be able to lift off the top rail. The you can lift the glass out of the lower section. If you need to run a razor knife around between the frame and the glass. That glass shouldbe arond $150.00 to replace. The Old Tinbasher
