windshield removed

[john108]

I just removed my windshield and rubber seal (68 Charger).  There is some black sticky filler on the metal and glass.  I tried to remove some with Acetone and it didn't cut it very well.
What solvent do you think might disolve it.

you will want to scrape as much as you can with a plastic scraper (if youre trying to save the paint) then lacquer thinner and a rag.

On a side note, how hard is it to remove a windshield without breaking the glass? You have to cut up the seal?

Theres a bit of art to it.  It isn't difficult but it seems like someone who has done a few can pop them out of there with ease and someone doing it for the first time, well their results may vary.

I got one of those knife blades that have a hooked tip.  I think they may be used by carpet installers.  The sharp part of the blade is on the inside of the hook.  I cut around the windshield along the center of the seal and stripped off the outer surface of the seal exposing the edge of the glass, all the way around.
Then I was able to pull the remaining half of the seal from the inside of the car, away from the glass (VERY SLOWLY).

i just used the old fishing wire technique. but you need two people to seperate it from the seal.
