I am playing around with the idea of doing the T-top swap on my car. I saved the page that one of the other members here did on how to remove and swap the entire roof off both cars. This involves removing the windshield. What I'm trying to do now is to get a list as accurate as possible of the cost involved. So I need to find out if removing and installing the windshield is something I can do or do I need to find out how much someone would charge.

So, has anyone removed theirs and got it back in without breaking it?

 

It's not really difficult, you need a thin special steel cable and cut the glue by going back and forth like a saw.

You should not try when it's cold, the glue is much stronger, and you will have a hard time cutting it. I've removed the rear glass of my 79 during the winter, took me six hours. But I did it alone.

The most difficult part is the base on the cowl, you will need another pair of hands on that area.

Start by removing all the parts that are in the way : windshield washer nozzles, wiper arms, cowl grille on the outside, headliner, A-pillars trim and dash pad in the interior.
Cut a small portion of the glue with a knife or whatever, and slide the cable in. Get the other side with your hand and start cutting. Don't pull up as you could damage the edges of the glass. Wear strong gloves or you will cut you hands.

It will be much easier if you let the car sit in the sun for some time, I've removed a Porsche 924 windshield with no effort this way.
