Yeah, can't do it myself... and I'd prefer not to have it disassemble itself all over the front of my car.

I know I'll need some guitar string, but the part I'd need the most help with is getting not only the windshield out, but the top dash section. I would like to recover the dash top while the windshield is out and have yet to remove one before.

If any local SoCal teeners can lend a hand... I'd like to do it either this Friday/Saturday or next Friday/Saturday. We'd be pulling my old windshield and redoing the dash top and the glass co. will clean up the butyl and install the new windshield.

I can offer food and beer.

Thanks!

Brando,

If you want 914-glass window-pro to do the install, Rufino is the guy. His number is 714-292-5811 He's done mine several times and some other club members locally. He comes to you site/garage.He knows all the tricks and can do a near-perfect trim job too.
You might want to see what he charges.

This is the tool that you need. Ain't nothin' better for removing windshields.

THAT is a killer looking tool. Where did you find it?

I can probably help next weekend, not this one though. I've done the windshield pull/dash restore more times than I care to recollect. I'd like to get one of those tools shown above. Anyone know who has them & how much?

I KNOW Snap-On has them for $35 online (that's where I stole the picture). I KNOW my local paint shop sells them. A good home-town hardware store might have them.

right after submitting my post, it occured to me to try evilbay. Sure enough, a search netted several choices; $15 - $20 shipped will get me one.

Or you could use my method where 90% of the windshield had separated from the seal.

Glenn, I'll call ya this week to see what time we can confirm... I've yet to pull a dash so I don't know how long it will take. I have the covering material I want to use (neoprene, swimsuit material) and adhesive, I just don't know how to pull the dash top out. I also am going to run without one of those dash-windshield seals... maybe I'll put a plastic strip down or something. Once we've got it pulled the glass co can come out and install the windshield and use a a rubber seal on the outside.

Glenn, pull one for me while you're at it

The windshield in 666 is for you Eric, how I'll ever get it to you I don't know
