the advice offered earlier is good. 1 other bit of advice...the windshield
frame posts
that go into the body are not at the same angle as the windshield is to the
body. so if
you're pulling, while rocking the frame back and forth, keep in mind the posts
in the
"holsters" on each side are angled a little more up and toward the front of the
car, out
of line with the windshield angle.
hope this helps.
