-------------------------------1124660377 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Will Replacing the glass in the windscreen is a relatively simple job. Easier if you have a soft top and can take the roof off. The glass is held in place by aluminum strips that are fixed to the screen by small screws. It is these screws that will provide the biggest challenge so get busy with the WD40. The screen should not fall out automatically once these are removed as the sealant around the edges should hold it in. To get it out may take some aggro, I used a wallpaper scraper as a lever. As your glass is damaged you don't have to worry about scratching it but you dont want to break it if you need it as a template for the new glass. Be prepared once it is out to clean up and repaint the frame before refitting and get rid of any rust that might be there. Also you may need to replace all the screws. Make sure the new glass is the same sort as the original and not window glass. I seem to recall when I did mine the supplier could not match the thickness and so my screens are slightly thicker. This was no problem as there is some leeway in the refitting. You will need to consider the type of sealant to put back in there. I used black waterproof gutter mastic that I put into the frame before offering up the glass. Then another layer went on the inside to ensure a good all round seal. The only problem was it took a lot of cleaning up when the job was done.
