[DeTomaso] Windshield removal

[jderyke at aol.com]

The trim WILL come out if you use WD-40 on the vertical piece that inserts 
into the rubber. Work it progressively and gently; if you bend it, its 
almost impossible to straighten so it fits right again. 
As has been mentioned before, with soft-soled shoes on, you slouch in the 
passenger seat, put your feet against the glass and push hard and steady. A 
blanket on the hood catches pieces if it cracks further. And don't throw away 
the gasket even if you no longer need it; they cost over $500 to replace! 
BE prepared to do some brazing on the usual pits in the lower channel. If 
you're skilled and lucky as to where the pits are, the dashboard need not 
come out.... Good luck- J Deryke
