Removing windshield
Wonder if any tips on easy ? removal of this ? I normally do not have much luck as it seems like that caulk is pretty tough no matter what vehicle I work on. Once watched a professional it seemed that he had a razar blade in a long extended holder working from the inside of the vehicle. Wonder if any other tips ?

It is VERY simple
Look in the yellow pages under auto glass.
Pick up the phone, dial the number, set up an appointment(stay clear of safelight)
For $200 you get the old one removed, the new one installed and GUARANTEED not to leak

There are a lot of good guide online. It's really not that hard to do. It just takes some patience. I'd recommend getting OEM glass somehow. Aftermarket glass sucks in my experience.
I haven't done it on this vehicle but I've put glass in others.. I put all the glass in a 97 tbird, and I've done some old chevy trucks back in the day.

Didn't mean to quote the pics again, next time I'll not duplicate those .... Diesel Brad might have a good point, I've struggled normally when I had to do this, I might have a means to a discount which I forgot about, so "may" need to check on this .... does that tool in Pic # 3 have a name, in case I decide to go that way - in case anyone knows ?
