How do you remove windshield on 1966 dodge coronet 440?

Answer 1

Well, first you have to remove the stainless steel trim. It snaps into clips that are screwed into the windshield frame. You have to be careful, it is delicate. I can't really give you a good technique to do it, but you can start tugging and prying, and figure out where the clips are and pry at them directly. If you have never done it before, you will probably bend some trim.

After you have removed the trim, you should be able to see a locking strip embedded in the windshield gasket. Find the end, pry it out and pull it out all the way around the windshield.

Finally, take a utility knife and stick it in the locking strip groove and cut the lip of the windshield seal off where it goes over the windshield. Yes, this will destroy the seal, but if you want to get the glass out without breaking it, then you pretty much have no choice. New ones are 50 to 150 bucks it seems. Anyway once you have the seal cut you can push out on the windshield from the inside, it may stick a bit at first as they usually stick to the seal a bit. be gentle but firm. sometimes I use my feet as it spreads the load over a large area of the windshield to help prevent cracking. take your time and use care. Once the windshield is out you can pull off the rest of the windshield seal and clean everything up.
