Looking for referals to remove, save & replace front & rear windshields on my 1967 Dart in thr Lakeland, Fla area . In body shop now, take them out & after body restoration, reinstall.
 
If you and/or your body man would read through the many related threads here, I'm sure you would realize that this is a DIY chore. You would also realize the practicality in replacing that 50 yr old front glass with new.
So many aspects of restoration are not suited for the average do it yourselfer. As for these gasket mounted glasses, this forum holds more knowledge and experience than the typical Safelite tech can bring. DIY is not always about penny pinching.
In reading here you will find cases where a aftermarket vendor provided reveal molding clips that were wrong for the application, and those clips were installed, and the moldings wouldn't install/lay properly. That could/might happen with any tech you hire. It doesn't have to go that way. Ask first and we'll show you the correct clips, etc... That's what this forum is for.
Sorry I don't have a "Angies List" type of answer to your question. Good luck

Thank you,. I have gained knowledge from this site, read & learned a lot. Ive never popped a windshield out before, I was afraid to make a costly mistake. I read about using lestoil, different ways to extract, depending on if you want to save glass or not, or gaskets or lock strips.. but i want to thank for offer to show the correct clips, im sure any help/knowedge would be greatfully accepted.

I know that. I also know when the subject is 67 a-body most owners plan to upgrade to the 68 and later gaskets and trim. I didn't assume this is the case here. Was just covering some bases.

I have a 67 windshield and gasket like new which I may try to install in a 69 gts would save buying gasket and clips just to save a few bucks low buck build
