Windshield Removal: Easy and Efficient

- This method is simple, easy and efficient as well as cheap. You can use old brake springs to make steel wire rope inserters. Windshield removal is tough work, especially getting a good one from the junkyard. I have removed several windshields without damage. You may replace the windshield using less than $50 for the entire job if the windshield is from a junkyard.
Note that when removing the urethane at the four corners of the windshield, if pulling isn't effective, you can use a sawing motion instead. When pulling the rope, if there is uncomfortable resistance, please check and see if it is caught on any part of the metal frame, such as the VIN tag.
That's how we did them back in the day. I have one to replace and was just checking videos to see if there was anything new out there. You just confirmed the Old School is still the best School.
Thumbs up to Old School !!
Awesome video; no BS talking - straight to the point. Many thanks!
You just made my life a whole lot easier, saved me hours of struggling, spared me from injury, and plenty bucks not wasted. Thanks!!
It look sooo easy ! I have rust issue around the windshield, now i'm confident enough to start the project . All because of you ! Thanks for the video !
Same reason I have to remove mine.
I thought I was confident. I did not want to use wire, I was pressed for time. I used the tool that looks like a surgical instrument with two handles and a small 90* blade. The urithane was so tough that it drove the blade into the glass. Because of the edge, i could not remove the tool. reversing, moving forward, and removal of tool all cracked my replacemnt at the junkyard. I'm counting on the wire. I only have one more chance at a farther junk yard since i broke the only one in a 15 mile radius. ill give myself more than a half hour. Funny thing is, i would have had plenty of time to use the wire if I did not run litterally to the other side of this huge junkyard to get a can of solvent i passed up when i figured i should clean the glass so suction cups will work. I went and got the can and when i got back went to open it and the screw lid was gammed so poked it. poured some on ground to check it and out came black paint! IN A SOLVENT CAN! to be fair, if I had read it, i would have known instantly but somehow did not notice the sticker had any info on it. I think i thought the can was blank or expected there not to be anything written on it.
Yeah same issue... I'm concerned about reinstallation and the airbag though... issue you think?
Awesome job! That's similar to how we use to do it in the old days except we just used two people. Very nice, thank you for posting! extremely fun to watch.
Thanks for the great video. Simple, self explanatory and straight to the point.
You are the man. Thanks for your video. No special tools. Just getting it done!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! YOU JUST SAVED ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS!
I never comment on these videos but... that was good very helpful!!
I went to the junk yard and yanked out the throttle cable and stuck the dip stick through the seal and fed the throttle cable through
Now the pulling technique looks 👌... I'm going to give strimmer line a try🤷♂️🤠
Best trick I’ve ever watched. Thanks
brilliant idea with the steel rope.
I am going to try one in the junk yard for my car 。 thanks a lot
PERFECT JOB....EXCELLENT WORK 💪👷👌👏🙌👍💪
man, this is absolutely genius , thank you!
Well done you made it soo so easy
I love the sarcasm, i feel it right now.
Anyone know the suicide hotline number… this music…
Are you ok there?
😂😂
😂 I find it very calming and soothing
I’m with ya man. “Slightly out of tune grand piano recorded with plugged iPhone 4S microphone” ain’t my kind of music for windshield urethane cutting.
Very good video. Thanks & good job bro... From Malaysia...
No brand, No name tool is the most efficient and safe tool!
i use really strong fishing line, NEVER SAW it, you use very thin wire or line and you use lots of soap and you pull and that cuts it
What do you use exactly?
This video is very helpful
At first I wondered how you could "saw" the top and bottom because arems wont reach. I see now
will try!
I took my windshield out, it was broken but I really messed it up a lot more. Then I was cleaning the replacement and I cracked it. So now I'm wondering if I should try again and cut my loses.
Very nice
Thanks
Piano wire or guitar wire should do the trick they come in all different sizes
Liked and subscribed
I am thinking that MIG welding wire would not snap. Tomorrow I will try, have to cut out the old windscreen.
I have a one of a kind car... After 2 years of searching I found another one scrapped with a good windshield... I'm terrified to try this.
Good video.¡Gracias!
How do you deal with the mist
Perfecto
It's really great
Great vid. What size rope?
I/16 inch, 96 lb. Wire from home depot. I'm sorry I don't know the exact size of the rope because I only used 1 major strand out of 7 from the rope itself.
2 RULES:
1. NO metal tools (except wire)
2. DON'T chew on the dam GLASS!
Nice church song my friend
super
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Some people said impossible to remove without breaking...
Those people were wrong
💪
Saw 2 older guys pull a windshield off a Chrysler Concorde in a salvage yard, few hrs later they walked it into the shop to pay for it, sat it down....
"Pop" it cracked
😎👍
And you're in Texas
Realistically
Lol yall made it look hard, yall took the whole car apart lol.... really
The only part to be made easier is cutting the adhesive. Looks like a strong threaded cable is the key
Hahaha
It's a nightmare to replace a windscreen after a nuub installed it wrong. Make sure only qualified personnel change yours. If you don't want scratches on your car, or water coming in, or wind whistling in, take it to a shop and have a pro like me do it right. Using piano wire REQUIRES 2 people and a dashboard protector
Just 4 dat, i'ma gonna put er in upside down an bting to your shop to complain!

This is NOT an easy way to remove a windshield, WAY too hard.
Buy yourself a side cutting electric blade off Ebay or whatever and use a HackOPS™ 1” Multi Tool Cold Knife Blade Windshield Removal Auto Glass Cut Out. Cost about $20 per blade.
Jesus Christ dude, just call a professional. Windshield replacement is not a DIY project
Yes it is a diy project 😀
why bro? the guy did an excellent efficient and careful job, all by himself and didnt crack the glass...props to him
It is when these on-line scam bait n' switch places quote your $270 for the job on-line, but then $670 when you actually call to schedule an appointment. I too am driving an old beater car, no longer with the comprehensive -- and I even used to work a glass shop as a summer job.... 40 years ago.... so I'm game to try this method. (and yes, $49 for a replacement "oem" windshield from a pick 'n pull yard.....)
I have a few old project cars. The local shops won't do removal and reinstall of existing glass.
The price of glass has gone up and I have a baseball sized hole on my windshield. I went to the local u auto pull it and got one for $25. Came out easy but took like forty minutes for me to do alone. No cracks and I saved $250. I will not pay over $200 for a windshield if the car isn't a BMW.
thank you a lot for me as a tint and glass installer. @Dodongcartint 🤗😁🚗🚗👍👍👍
