RE: Mk1 Windshield?

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

You can get the chrome out by working it loose with a very small bladed 
screwdriver and start at the middle.

Those little chrome clips on the top and bottom of the windsheild will 
slide and then you can get the tip of the screwdriver into it.  Go very 
slowly prying the chrome strip up from the center of the windsheld toward 
the corners......if you do this on the bottom and then the top but leaving 
the sides in, you can wiggle the sides out.  I know it sounds funky but it 
works.

Your goal is to take the chrome off without making too much of a bend in 
any one place....it is extremely difficult to get back in and if there are 
any bumps or bends in it it makes the job much harder.

As for the gasket itself, I don't know how to get one out without cutting 
the gasket or breaking the windshield in half.

Sorry :-(
