Removing Windshield on 30 Coupe

[dmaxweb]

I need to replace the gaskets on the windshield frame and hinge. Which screws do I remove to take the windshield off the car?
Thanks

I have recently removed the windshield on my 30;

Open the windshield and you will see the wood screws through the piano hinge which runs the top length of the windshield. (should be 9 or 10);

Good luck,

Are these the screws through the hinge and into the windshield frame or the screws through the hinge into the header?

Screws into the header. If you take the swing arms off you can get to the screws alot easier.

Is the header wood?

Is the header wood?

Yes.

Header is wood, covered by sheet metal, screws go through hinge, rubber gasket, sheet metal header cover and into header,

Hope this helps,

Lay a blanket on the hood and gas tank in case the winshield drops. Best to have a friend help with this job.

Thanks for the info.
The wind noise is keeping me awake while I'm driving

I usually roll up a blanket to hold the windshield wide open while I remove the screws in the header. A second set of hands will help.

Removing it is the easy part, taking the frame apart is where the fun begins.
