Windshield Installation
#1
i have got to put a windshield in mine. i was wonderin who has done it and how hard it is to do it. im bout to pick up a windshield for 50$ and try my best to put it in. im on a budget here... also- the windshield frame has 2 little dents in it maybe 3 mm's into the frame. anybody got any idea how to get em out? they're kinda liek creases.

Do you have the old windshield out? That's a fun job
You'll need butyl and some suction cups, and if you haven't installed one before you'll need a friend and some patients. Will the mouldings cover the "dents"?

Piano wire, Tube of black Eruathane, Calk Gun, 2 vice grips, 2 people, 120 grit sand paper, Eruathane Surface prep for window install.
Pull off mouldings
slide 2 foot peice of piano wire through to the other side(These break often).
Attach vice grips to each end, you and your pal pull back and forth and sort of saw through the eurathante. Dont scratch up the pain on your car!!!!!
Pop the window out.
Clean up down to the paint.
Save the wedges/clips
Sand down area.
Apply black surface prep
Lay down a liberal ammount of erothane.
Set window down.
Slide arround/push tilll its where you want it.
Tape it so it does not move.
let it dry
ect ect.
Those are pretty shitty instructions but you get the idea.
