Default Yeah, Windshield Frame For Me Too

Ok, so the wife and I pulled off the windshield last week and there it was, a mess of red cancer. So I checked out Monty's thread here on his windshield frame rebuild. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...errerid=185120

He took off the front clip to get to the lower channels. How is this done? Do you have to cut it out? In Monty's pics, I see strips of fiberglass along the side of his cage...

You can check out the horror here! (pictures)

Any other insight on what I need to do to prepare myself for a job like this would be welcomed!

Thanks!

Pretty nasty looking. Good luck with that repair. Has to be done, but not a lot of fun.
