Good morning.
What do you think the odds are, if diligence is taken, of success will be removing a windshield for one car and getting it successfully in place on another? Quite likely? Am I fooling myself about the billet he to do this? |

I believe anything with urethane will be tough to get out in one piece. I suppose a windshield with the butyl tape would be easier, but I've only replaced "modern" car glass.
The piano wire trick can be a pain, but does work. There is a seal cutter that you hold and pull along with a small T-handle. That can be hard to get started without chipping the edges. I also have a long piece of aluminum with a utility knife blade that works best for me. My first one I made myself by flattening a piece of 1/2" conduit and trapping a blade in the end. With these you cut the seal from inside the car |
