Re: Windshield Installation / I need encouragement (special combo-reply!)

Whenever I use a screw driver when removing the windshield there is too much risk in denting the window frame.  I like to use several 
popsicle sticks (BONUS: You get to eat them first).  Starting in a corner insert them at regular intervals.  Then go back to the first, pry a 
little on the first, push the second in more, so on and so... you get the idea.  Pretty soon you think the window will fall on the floor, so get 
a helper to either catch it as you gently push with both feet evenly distributed on the glass or get outside the car and getly pull...  The 
only window I have broke with this method already had a crack running from top to bottom, but I still got it out in one piece.
