Windshield Removal

Hi FABO,

I'm at a point in my rebuild where I'm going to need to pull the windshield (and pretty soon the rear glass) out. Need to remove the dash and start on the body work.

I take it when putting glass back in that new seals are a must and re-using one isn't in my best interest... With that being said, I'm reluctant to do the removal, scared maybe a better term. What's the easiest way to do the removal for the timid heart newbies?

Cut the seal on the outside away from the glass channel and then work the glass out with wire or string? Is there a locking bead in there that you can pull out first instead of cutting?

Anyone have close up pics of where to cut or pull the locking bead?

I've found a ton of threads about installing and what sealer to use, but nothing really helpful for someone just trying to yank one out successfully.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
