    Default VK windscreen removal?

    Hey guys,

    Need to take out my front windscreen so I can install the last bit of the headlining - the glazier comes on Saturday to refit all the glass so I'd like to have it all done by then - anyone able to walk me through it?

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    well this is a 2-3 man job, so grab some mates. What i usually do is go around the windscreen rubber with a flat blade screw driver from the body of the car. You might have to have a few goes at this, to break the sealant off. When you have done this grab a mate or 2, put them either side of the windscreen, you hop into the car and give the windscreen a gentle push with your feet. This is the bit you need to take your time. Wehn its out you have successfully removed your windscreen

    If you do it the right way, no it shouldn't

    Ahh well - that didn't work. Seems it's now new windscreen time! No biggie really, just adds $100 to the costs, plus I get a sandblasting-free screen now
