Thanks to all for their replies. However, as usual, I have a question
or two. Several of you have suggested taking a pair of pliers and
twisting the bracket itself. I have removed the two offending bolts on
each side rather than just loosening them.
Here's the question: It appears that there is a bolt that attaches the
bracket to the inside of the fender. If I am correct, then wouldn't I
risk damaging the bracket by twisting it with a pair of pliers?
Thanks,

Ashford, everytime I have removed a windshield from a TR6 (or TR4) I
found
that one side comes loose quite easily and the other side has stuck as a
result of paint fusion (assembled while the paint was still soft) and I
have found that it is not the same side each time). My technique is to
remove all teh bolts that hold the bracket to the chassis and rotate it
about the post on the windshield frame and work the bracket off of the
post. Once it starts to move (it takes vice grip pliers initially) it
will
quickly become easier.
Reassemble with antisieze!
Good luck
