Realest's 1969 Dart Custom
Today I removed the chrome trim around the windshield and the windshield itself. After doing so research on the forum I took the advice of other and cut out the windshield rubber to help expose the clips that hold the trim on. The bottom trim piece proved to be most difficult due to gravities affect causing 42 years of dirty and debris to collect in the area. I fashioned a tool from a Richard 9 in 1 paint tool. Worked great. It still took a bit of patients and care not to bend or damage the trim. Something I am positive I would have never been able to do 10 years ago. After the trim was off, I used some cable and foam window cleaner (as lubricant) to remove the glass. Some may prefer the smash and crash method when removing windshields but I prefer to take it out in one piece and avoid the clean up. Here are some photos.
