I have the new windshield and urethane but I don’t have the proper tools to remove the existing windshield. I am in the Hamburg area so any help is greatly appreciated.
Btw, this is a 91 Honda Accord.
removing the windshield is relatively easy. Use some guitar string wrapped around 2 wooden handles. Catalyst and i did it with no problems.
umm, not really sure how i would do that?
there should be loads of writeups on the web.
Two pairs of vise grips works good too. There actually is wire made for windshield removal.

I did all the work on my civic myself - except the windshield. It is a royal pain in the ass, and in the hour it took to have it done, I ate some lunch, then went on with the rest of my life. Worth the $100 in every way.
