Re: [Chevelle-List] Front Windshield 67 Chevelle

[Richard Milkiewicz]

I have used one of these. It worked on one windshield. (Nova) And I broke the one on my Chevelle. EASTWOOD sells them. I finished getting the broken Chevelle window out with a length of mig welding wire. This seemed to work very well. I tied it to a dowel on each end after feeding it through and worked it with a sawing action. Using a hair blow dryer helps to soften the seal. I don't see the knife on their web site anymore. The may have stopped selling it.

I have a tool that is made for this. It has a handle that you hold with one hand and it has a cutting blade on the end. The blade is at a 90 degrees to the handle. Down close to the blade, a cable is attached with a handle on the cable. This is used to pull the blade through the seal and with a little practice you can cut a windshield out in just a few minutes. I hope this explanation is good enough to understand. If someone wants to see the tool, I can send them a pic of it. Or if you are interested, I can try to find out who sells them. If I remember correctly, I bought it off of a snap-on truck.  Ðäññÿ ..............  ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Benjamin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 29, 2002 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Front Windshield 67 Chevelle I don't use piano wire because you need 2 people. I use a utility knife with the break off pieces. I have it out about 2" and go around windshield. It isn't easy and you have to make sure it is all loose before you try to move it. This has worked on 3 windshieds in a row so far. one Jag and 2 chevelles.   Dave Ingersoll,Ontario My web site:   http://members.tripod.com/benj30/
