Windshield Replacement


The windshield had a nasty crack on the passenger side that appears to have occurred as a result of the windshield settling against one of the metal trim clips just above the passenger side wiper. There are 20 such clips that attach to small studs. If you plan on doing the job youself, make sure you use the appropriate tool to remove the chrome otherwise you will damage it!

After removing the winshield, scrape away all the caulking material, and any remove paint around any rust spots. I used a wire drill brush to clean away excess debris and applied mar-hyde ONE-STEP which converts rust to black primer sealer prior to painting. The windshield clips were quite rusty so I ordered a two 10 pack's from Clark's Corvair Parts to replace all of them.


I'll post a final picutre of the completed work when I get the paint on!
