The windshield is easy to remove and can be done without removing
the dash or glove box. There are two bolts on each side, one is about
three inches below the post on the windshild.If you look you will see
them. If you haven't already stripped everything off the car then consider
doing it. The vent windows don't have to be removed but they should be
raised enough to remove the seal and paint under them. It is not necessary
to remove the side windows (as the manual says) in order to replace the
seals. You will need to remove the headlights in order to get the body
side moldings off. Be sure to draw a good diagram of all the wires going
to the lights, otherwise you can spend hours putting things back to
gether. Once all the lights are removed the car won't start because the
ground to the fuel will also be disconnected.
