Re: how much to remove glass
the glass guy that comes to my shop charges around $80 give/take for windshields and $50 give/take for quarter glass but he does a lot of work through here so we get a deal. it might be more for general public.
glass companies also don't take responsibility for broken glass.

Post up the rates..I need mine out too
But I find 80 kinda high cause out in Cali you could get a replacement for 100$, i had to get one when my hood flew up on me.

Re: how much to remove glass
prices very of course but some places wont r&i windshields because its laminated glass, not tempered.

Nope not yet, sema is kinda a let down. I just got a few pics I'll post them on my thread.
Good to hear your going to paint it!! I guess the only question left is what color??!
And what car are you working on again?

Re: how much to remove glass
Not exacally piano, just some thin wire a construction friend of mine had (kinda thick actually). I just got some wire threw the window, wraped the wire around the vicegrips on both sides, locked them, and went to town.
They also sell the window tool at harbor freight ha.

Re: how much to remove glass
my honey to do list keeps getting longer as soon as i cross something off more stuff gets added. hopefully by this weekend I will have everything on the house taken cared off (winter is comming) then i can start taking some pics and getting to work on the strip down.
think i might make a trip to Harbor freight and pick up a paint gun for the primer at least.

Re: how much to remove glass
piano string or use a razor knife working around it.
dont pay safelite to take the windshield out. do it yourself. not that hard. just go slow and cut the glue and pry with a flat bar with some electrical tape covering it. I've never had a problem.
