| curious how this is done? i need to take my windshield off for someone who wants to buy it. Same with the rear corner windows and rear windshield. The problem is i have no idea how to take them off since they are siliconed in. Thanks in advance! |

| Piano wire or sime type of metal wire maybe a guitar cord works well. feed it through , then a person on each side pulls it around. It has worked well for me in the past, I found the really tricky part is the actual moving of the glass for which I would recomend getting some of the big glass suction cups from princess auto or something. |

| Its urethane or some other thick rubber holding it in. You have to get it cut out. I would just get a professional to do it. Try jeff's auto glass, really fast and good guys. |

ive seen my dad do it at the wrecker when i was a boy, he used the ebrake cable and did what jordanturbo recommended. just yanked it out and used it to break the seal all the way around.
i was grounded for a week from playing hockey for breaking that window- haha |

| If you don't want to use wire, etc, etc.... Princess Auto actually sells the tool to remove windsheilds. Might be worth the $5 it probably costs. |

Carefully make a hole lol. then feed it through. Careful not to scrape the paint or the car will rust (asusming it isnt a parts car) |

ahaha no it is a parts car. Its almost just a shell. It has the glass and suspension and wiring left on it. Thats pretty much it. |

| for me the weather stripping was soft enough that I could just force the wire through, if not maybe a dremel of some sort with a fine bit at a low speed |
