you certainly do not have to break a windsheild out of any early or fc vair
unless it is already broken, or otherwise glued in?. it will come out fairly
easy if you go around the seal with a hook or angle tool from the inside, then
sit in the middle of the seat and put your feet at the far sides and just push
gently , holding pressure for a bit. then gradualy increase the pressure
carefully towards the top.it works better if it is warm, but i have done it in
winter outside. the windshield will start to come out top first with gasket. just
keep even pressure on it untill it is loose. i have done it alone many times
on fc's and earlys but you should have a helper on outside to catch it on
fc's. if you do it right it will come loose enough that you can go outside and
pick it off the truck yourself. a car it will just kinda set itself on the hood
for you. use a blanket to prevent scratching unless you are junking as i
usually am. regards tim colson
