Well i need to get a windshield out of my car then a parts car can anyone assist me with obtaining one? I would pay you for using it if that would help, or even if you can help me take it out that would help too! Thank you. ---

the chances of you doing that with piano wire are ZERO. Its not going to happen. I tried. You need a tool to cut it out or you can do the smart thing and give windshield tech $20 to do it for you instead of paying $30 for the tool. ---

I dont know what kind of sealer was on your glass but the Mustang Urethane is tough as shit. ---

I’d buy the tool. I’ve used piano wire, and the tool. It’s an easy 1 person job if you use the tool ( the cutting part). Having extra tools is never a bad thing. ---

yea i used piano wire to remove the windshield on my 1st 240, it had some cracks before hand, near the edge, which did get worse when i removed it but not much. just take ur time doing it, im pretty sure mine woulda been fine if it wasnt previously cracked ---
