How about tips on taking out the rear windshield instead. Ill use a hammer on the front windshield now that I cracked it trying to get it out. Cuss cuss cuss cuss, maybe that hammer will help me to relieve some anger.

Might just try using a sharp knife & just cut the seal all the way around. Then buy some new ones to replace the dryed up seals. Usually every other member who trys to install windshields breaks them..Leading the majority to just have their local glass shops to reinstall provided they will replace what they screw up & provide a warranty against leakage..

The rear window is pretty easy to get out. Using a dull screw driver or similar tool, pull the seal lip away from the cab on the inside and outside. Spray liberally with dish soap. Start in one of the upper corners and push outward. It helps to have someone help you. As you push, pull the lip away from the window frame
and tuck it so that it will slide out. A dull screw driver can be helpfull for this. Once the corner starts out continue pushing and work your way accross. Once it is started it goes well. Good luck! Jim |
