Ross Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Anyone ever removed a windscreen from a 80-84 body?? Without breaking it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 It was an '86 BRAT, but I managed to get the windshield out in one piece. I used a razor knife to cut away as much of the rubber seal as possible. That sticky Black goop that's in the glass area is/was a joy to convince to let go of the glass though. Tried same method on the '82 BRAT, but wasn't as careful I guess. It was cracked, so I wanted to change it. By the time I had it out, it was totally Fubar....

northguy Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I've taken out dozens, but none with the intent of attempting to get them out unbroken. I don't know what your time is worth, but it's cheaper for me to buy a new shield than spend the 4 or more hours to get one out in one piece and then clean it up enough to reinstall it without breaking.
