Update on the window situation...
I called my insurance company today (Shannons) and checked in to see what sort of cover I had.
Apparently if I take my car to windscreens O'brien I can get a replacement window without having to pay any excess and it will not effect my no claims bonus and will not effect my rating etc. They just send the bill to Shannons!
In other words, I get a free windscreen! So anyone who was wondering about windscreen cost - you know who to insure through!

Window removed today.
Found a heap of fibreglass bog underneath covering up a few holes.
Heres the worst of it:
I'm going to get one of my mates who's a sh#t hot welder (full time job is just welding and metal fab) to have a look at it and get an opinion on whether to repair or replace. He's more qualified than am at this sort of thing.

Might be worth checking this restoration out. The guy had the same windsheild surround issues, only worst.. sort of.

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 mouldings I could access the screw????

Here's a pic (not my car) that I saw in the link provided by Humphbri and it clearly shows the chrome trim completely removed and the windshield, then the corner pieces.
You can see what I mean by the angle of the screw. The window must be removed if that screw is in where it's meant to be.
