Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / January 2004replacing window shield
anybody got an ideo how that is done? My front windshield is broken, how do I get the old thing of? maybe cut with a sharp knife in the black kit and so? or is there another way? hope I'll hear something since I am not certain how to do this.. I understand that I have to get some glass kit like silicone kit but then not so elastic and glue the shield back on. is this correct? Bye Bert I had mine replaced recently, they theaded a piece of brass picture wire though the sealant at the bottom corner of the screen, and then with one person in the car and one outside they ran around the the whole windscreen using wire as a saw. It still splinteered and split in places, and some shards of glass were still left in the the sealant afterwards, that had to be scraped off. The trim was removed before they started, but i am not sure if the trim is actually bonded to the windscrren on later cars (mine is an 82). I don't know what they bonded the new screen in with, but they did say it was different to the original stuff, and I had to wait at least two hours before using the car afterwards, and if the car was fitted with airbags it would have been at least Five hours. > anybody got an ideo how that is done? > My front windshield is broken, how do I get the old thing of? maybe cut with [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Bye > Bert > I had mine replaced recently, they theaded a piece of brass picture wire > though > the sealant at the bottom corner of the screen, and then with one person in > the car Thanks Darren for the tip, started to try this method but didn't work out very well.. I think I don't have the experience for this. But along the job I found out (and some help from my wife...grin) I tried an electrical paintstripper (kinda hairdryer but hotter) and heated the window where it was kitted down (some kind of black glass gum, dunno ) and slowly pushing the window out with a lot of big screwdrivers. That did the job and with some patience I got the front shield off in one piece..! Thanks for your concern and advice.
