The front comes out after removing the windshield chrome trim.
Easiest way is to to take a safety razor blade and push in severing the clips that hold the trim. The trim is very thin and bends easy. Purchase replacement clips before hand-they are cheap. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-13632-1375827868.jpg) The windshield is stuck on with butyl. Once you get the trim off you will need to push the windshield out from the inside - Gently-. They are fragile. You will need to work around the edges- warming the butyl sometimes helps. Do it in hot sun. If the windshield breaks they are readily available new for @195$ Don't recall how the rear glass comes out. It also has butyl around the edges and comes out from the inside of the car (pushing from rear forward). Think it has trim but can't remember. Most simply fall out, the butyl is so old.... |

No trim on the rear. Mine was starting leak, so while replacing seatbelts I removed the rear glass and installed new butyl tape. I had the back pad out for the belt replacement, but I believe you can manage to do it with it in. Having the seats out will give you more room to work.
I used a heat gun and heated the butyl sealant, then using gentle pressure on the edges and a putty knife from outside, I was able to push it out - have a second person inside to help. Piece of cake, I paid a guy to do the windshield after a rock hit. Once the trim was off he used a sawzall fitted with a putty knife - had the windshield out in less than a minute and didn't crack it. |

I took one out with a hammer, once. Never again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Where can you find the glass for 195? Please let me know as I need a new windshield and can't drive it till I get one. Or I guess u could just get some goggles. |
