windshiled should be the same 65 to 89

taking the glass out is tricky when you don't want to cut up the rubbers. When you replace the rubbers, it's actually quite easy.

Just take out the chrome or alu trim (very carefully), and cut with a very sharp cutter all the way through the groove (where the trim sat). You can rip out the outter piece of the rubber, and the glass will pop out quite easily. The front shield is very brittle so you have to be carefull nonetheless.

Putting it back in with new rubber: no idea yet, as i haven't done it before.

oh, get some friends to help ya

Thanks for your help.

I will putting it back in with new rubber. But I have never done it before.

glad to help,

PS you can cut all the way through the groove without fear, there's nothing underneath there that you can harm

let someone apply gentle pressure from the inside, and be ready with 2 people on the outside. the glass can simply rotate out on its bottom edge.

If you are replacing the rubber, CUT the trim out. The trim is VERY soft and the odds are you will not be able to pry it out without bending it up. Rubber: $50. Trim: $180.
