windshield replacement question

The trim just unhooks from the retaining clips but you will need the right tool, should be less then 20 bucks at the part store. After you get the trim off you will notice a seam running around the center of the gasket where the outer flap is tucked into the gasket, this part just prys out and the gasket is unlocked. Now the glass might be able to be pushed out but you will probably have to peel the gasket away from the outer perimeter of the glass. Sit in the car with your feet along the top of the glass and give a steady push, it should come out. Try not to break it unless you want little shards of glass everywhere. Hopefully your gasket is soft enough to reuse, clean all the old sealant off also take care of any rust around the windshield frame, now is a good time to replace any of the trim clips if they are rusty or broken. The gasket gets "glued" to the car with butyl sealant. Place the bottom of the windshield in first (no butyl on the glass yet) and work it into the gasket. Then work your way up the sides, the corners are the hardest so be carefull also use plenty of glass cleaner or soapy water as lube between the glass and rubber. DO NOT use any metal tools when working the glass into the gasket get a nylon glass tool or grind an old toothbrush down to pry the gasket over the glass. Once the glass is into the gasket run some butyl sealer around the perimeter of the glass under the flap. Hope this helps, good luck.
