Thread: Removing my windshield

Tweet

An update to this project for anyone who cares...

I finally got the cajones to have-at this windshield project I have been accumating parts for... so far so good, got the old one off without TOO much trouble, although i have no skin left on my thumbs from removing all the leftover black windshield urethane sealer! My buddy came over and helped cut the glass away from the cowl with a guitar string, then cut the clear silicone along the sides of the billet posts. when the glass was cut it lifted right up out of the slots of the posts, and left about 1/2" thick bead of rock hard urethane on the cowl. We took off the posts, then bought 2 plastic paint scrapers from the hardware store and carefully scraped the urethane off the cowl... of course you couldn't get it all off this way, so it also took a ton of rubbing by hand with a few rags and some 3M Finesse-it compound. A few hours later, this is where i am.

We're going to test fit the new frame and stanchions tomorrow... wish me luck!
