Default Replacing the lens on my roof. Ebay 330$

I just bought a new plexiglass lens for my top and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions..Mine is a 84 and I have some knowledge with auto glass since that is what I do for a living..But there is always something I might not be aware of since Ive never done one of these before...Any knowledge or insight would be great!!! Supposedly they'


re going to email me a video with instructions but I'm sure there is more to know than what the video explains...Should I use a wire to remove the old lens or should I use my auto glass extractor?? And Is there a tried and true method to get the urethane to stick to the plexiglass? Ive heard the kits they send you are not so good...Thanks

I would contact 3M and talk with them and see if they can get onto your thread so they can see what you are doing.

I DO KNOW that not all urethanes are the same in regards to the chemical make up of them. Or at least that was my impression the last time I recently talked with 3M about an issue that needed a urethane for a specific type of job. I was advised to use the 8609 specifically and a primer for it also. The primer for it was a 8682. And I was bonding rubber gasket to glass and the rubber gasket to steel.
