There are also 4 bolts (2 each side) adjacent to the 2 nuts you 
removed.  Those bolts are pinch bolts which clamp the windshield 
posts (the ends of which are threaded for the nuts you removed).  It 
may take a liberal application of your favorite juice to break the 
rust loose, too.  Whatever you do, don't use a pry bar under the 
windshield frame.  If the posts won't wiggle free, you might try 
threading the nuts back on, then tapping the post ends with a BFH.
