Windshield Replacement

 Now that we have our own OEM-style glass windshield, 111glass, we have been getting many requests about the installation.  Here is the basic sequence of events to get the job done.  We use a local installer and suggest that you use a professional - this is really not a DIY job.

Unlike some speculation, the front clam does NOT need to be removed to replace the windshield on these cars.

The hardtop/softop needs to be removed along with the access panels at the base of the windshield.

Remember the windshield is not a structural member and will crack if you put your weight onto it.

Apply heat to remove the factory rear view mirror puck.  Note how he uses pliers to hold the puck.  Of course the mirror should be removed first.

Our installers separate the old glass from the frame using a special tool.

Glass is removed and new adhesive is applied

Suction cups to hold the 111glass and position into place - yes, it takes two people

Be careful and slide the glass under the clam as shown above

Let the adhesive set for 3-4hrs before driving

Most installers can get the replacement done in about 2 hrs.

The 111glass shown above is our Street version.  The Race version is shown below - the only difference is the location of the '111' icon.  On the Street, it is on the Passenger side and on the Race, it is in the center bottom.
