That's gotta hurt. Did the same when building Priscilla. :24
When ya take the windscreen out, ya may as well and make the most of a bad lot and give that part of the bird cage a good clean up and rust prof coat and get some more clips for the moldings.

I took my moldings off around my windscreen pillars and found big rust holes on the pillars and on the top section when I was restoring my vette, I imported a whole new windscreen pillar & top steel bits and had to weld them back on. And my vette was a Southern Californian car all its life?? The rest of the cars steel structures were in perfect condition! And my windscreen glass broke also in the process!
demonx:
There's no actual rust "holes" - its just all pitted and will be potential holes in about 5-10 years if I don't fix it all now.
One thing that p#isses me off - the damn screws for the corner mouldings cannot be undone unless you remove the window. What a dick head of an idea that is.
I have not priced the new window yet, but I have an idea I should be able to get one local for about 2 - 3 hundred?
What did you guys glue it back with?
I was talking to someone about it last night and they said make a gerot with some wire and simply run it around the glue and it'll cut, then just lift the window up and out onto the bonnet. Sounds simple. Everything sounds simple till you do it!
69 DIRTY RAT:
Im sure those corner mold screws come out without taking the window out, I took mine off before taking the window out! I think my screw was hiding under the rust and under the next molding, I think once I took off the middle moldings I could access the screw????
