Update... finally getting around to putting in the replacement windshield.
Taking it out wasn't too bad, it's easy taking out cracked ones - you don't have walk on eggs like if you were saving it.
It looks like the upper reveal molding can be reused. Yesterday when I took it out it was supple being that it was super sunny high 80's. Today it's rainy (since the windshield is out) and almost cool and the reveal molding is not flexible at all, sort of like hose garden hoses get, so if I were putting it on today I'd have to warm it somehow, either by microwave (careful!!!) or by putting it on top of my tube amplifier (safer).
This guy's got it wired:
Removing a windshield can be a lot of work. See how they do it professionally. on Yahoo! Video
I have the same tool he has (the one with the short cable) but the way he's using two tools, the second with the longer blade, seems like the secret. That would make the job flow right, so I'm looking for a second tool with a longer blade.
What is that tool (long handle w/razor blade on the end) he uses to cut the bottom urethane from the inside? That would be nice to have too.
It was way, way easier to cut the urethane when the car was in the full sun and the windshield was super hot. WAY easier. Plus I sharpened the blade every few feet.
There's a funny thing on that video, maybe I missed this and everyone knows it: the guy rests his tools on top of the tires.
I guess a) you don't scratch the paint and b) customers don't drive home with your stuff. If you forget them they end up on the ground at the end of the day (just don't run over a screwdriver).
