Just what my title says. My parts car has a nice windshield. How do I get it out without cracking it?

First- very important!
Make sure that you're not hungry or thirsty, you don't need to pee, there aren't any screaming kids or fighting dogs around, and that your blood levels of nicotine, alcohol, THC, caffeine, and anitdepressants are correct. I use one of those new retracting blade utility knives, nice and thin. Remove the trim, put a new blade in your tool and cut the butyl rubber from the inside, all the way around, at least twice. Don't push hard, the window should come right out when all the butyl tape is cut. |
