a buddy is parting out his 4runner and says i can have his windshield as mine is cracked pretty bad. any tips to removing it without breaking it as i did with my fj40 :pat:

i plan on having someone who knows what they're doing install it on my truck.

I think those may be glued in. I'm not sure. Its pretty damn hard to remove those without breaking them...

I had to remove a window for my beretta.... the people that broke into my vehicle busted the rear passenger window to crawl in and unlock the front door???? would have been easier to break the front passenger...

Anyways. Try piano wire. thats what i used.... but make sure you can get a new seal. otherwise a sharp razor heated up from the inside might do the trick too.

thick guitar string and a hair dryer and take your time one person on the inside and one on the out side and saw in and out along the whole window.
it also helps to cut into the seal with a razor first.

a lot of it depends on how low the glue goes in the front. If you miss some of it and pull you can crack the window very easily. there are some special tools tha can be used (i think harbor freight even sells them). If you are haveing someone professional installing it they probably wont charge very much to remove that one. Thats what i would do and I have removed and installed 3 or 4 windshields...

I just took mine out a few months ago because it was leaking. I just used a razor blade and cut down the edge of the glass and then cut along and pulled the bit of silicone out. Then just cut under the glass with the blade. The windshield sits pretty far away from the frame.

the problem is, the parts truck is non-mobile and is sitting in a garage right now.
