so my bro in law is trying to tell me he thinks the earlier jeeps just have a seal in there and minimal glue?

from what ican see of it its just glued in liek the windshield in my monte carlo was... any tricks you guys wanna give me before i do this?

its an 89 Laredo.. any input would be appreciated.

A) It is definitely glued.

B) If you are trying to remove an existing one without breaking it, the "L" shaped knife is NOT the way to go (I suggest trying the piano wire style).

C) Personally, unless you are removing the windshield to do some work (i.e. rust repair or something), I would just pay a windshield repair place to do it for you. They will have the 1-5 trim clips you will inevitably break.

I dont have the cash to pay someone. And im replacing it cuz it was kicked in. Where are the trim clips your talking about? you mean for the molding on the outside of the window?

[TheNerd]

Yes... the chrome molding (I believe yours is chrome) that comes off in 5 pieces. If you break the little clips when you are removing the molding with a screwdriver instead of the proper tool, then you need to replace them. I never could find a place to buy them individually, but I did find a box of 100 or so (which is nice because you should only need like 15 for the whole windshield).


If your windshield is already kicked in, use whatever you want to remove it.... no harm no foul.

I work for a dealer, and when they remove the old windshileds out of the cars here, they actually use a sawzall with and "Z" shaped balde to fit around the pillar, if you look on ebay or something on the net you should find something that may work.. What part of schuylkill r u from? I assume skook is schuylkill.. I grew up in the Minersville area.. fellow coal cracker..

well last time i did a trashed windshield was in my monte carlo. (someone hit it with a rock beffore i could take it of the P/O property.) i decided just kicking it out would be the easiest way , yea right , this time ill stick too keeping it relatively in one piece..

The only reason im doing it is because im trading it for a 97 Jetta GLS 5 speed... id love to keep the jeep but im tired of messing with it , im jsut gunna wait and save for a post 97 xj



anyone wanna buy it?

My dad's family is origionally all from around the Frackville area, and like I said I grew up south of you guys.. what year did you graduate? Where do u guys wheel at up that way now?? We do a lot off 901 towards minersville, and such, but growing up there I know every trail like the back of my hand..

[coalregionXJ]

I go wheeling mostly over the lofty tunnel area , and around tamaqua. right off rt 209 at the beaver dam everyone was bragging about some s10 on 44's that barley mad it through i conqured it in this with bald 32's and lockers. ahh i love jeeps. im really wishing that i wouldnt have sold this.




i miss` that jeep so much , ugh... b ut i need something cheaper to run/maintain till i get back on my feet and i can build another beast , the blue one is in the for sale section now

[XJNUTTIER]

thats cool, i will pass it on, does the jeep run and is inspected? and I have never been down that way. sounds like fun.. there are so may trails in that couinty there are truely limitless..

[coalregionXJ]

It runs and drives , needs the parts i have for it installed and a windshield to be inspected. if i do it all and get it inspected im going to want more for it. i just got offered a 2001 Buick. i may be going that route.
