windshield questions

[mswit209]

hey i was wondering if any of you guys know how to remove the front and rear windshields on the car i want to take off my vinyl top. should i just have a glass company come out and remove them then come back and install them?

do you have?

- new glass?

- new seals?

 

easiest is to pay someone (i wouldnt waste my $$ on the removal part)

 

if the seals were replaced in the last 10yrs or so, it may come out and be reused, otherwise, cut the old seals and gently remove the glass, careful not to bend the trim if you plan on re-using it.

 

it sounds like youll be paying someone to reinstall. ;)

search for tips to DIY.

 

find out if they warranty YOUR glass. many dont!

i will be reusing my old glass since it is perfect condition and was planning on using new seals since the corners are starting to crack... does anybody happen to know where to get them?
