    Hi Guys,

    I’m still a couple of weeks away from paint, but am making progress on my little project. I’ve never removed a bonded windshield and would like to know how to do this properly.

    I found this useful video on YouTube, but I don’t think this is the best use of my jack :exci

    laminated glass breaks 98 percent of the time with me. so id just do what that guy did and throw the jack at it too. to remove it use an equalizer cut out knife, it uses standerd utility blades. but to make it easier always lube the urethane with something like soapy water or glass cleaner. i never tried it but there are heat inductor systems that claim to remove the glass clean without breaking it.

    Piano wire is what I use They sell wire kits called the equalizer as well as the big knife too.

    The Jack worked but :S

    i always have a window guy come in and remove my glass. believe me its the best $100 i will spend. never had one break and i dont have to worry about dealing with it. usually takes them less than 10 minutes. i would be messing with it for over an hour and then i would break the thing anyway.
