working on a 26 coupe and trying to figure out how to remove windshield glass to have safety glass put in ......... thanks in advance for any help

Keith,

I did a post a while back on how I removed/replaced the glass from my center door. Should be the same, or similar windshield. Link to post below.

Good Luck

thank you....... just got it...... now hopefully the glass shop can do a good install on new one.....also, any input on frame color?????? lots of people do body color but after removing glass im pretty sure frame was originally black

My '26 Coupe has a steel frame in two parts, a wide 'U' and a closing piece. Held together by some small screws at two of the corners. These all came out and then I was able to separate the frame parts and gently pull the frame from the glass.

I bought some thin rubber strip (about 0.050" thick?) to fit round the new glass, but I had to cut it to width so that it just shows when in the frame.
Clear silicone seal not only seals but helps lubricate while assembling. I think the new glass is 6mm, but my memory may be incorrect.
It's tricky to get it all back in, but I managed and the end result is fine.

My frame is body colour - the previous owner's choice, but I think that you are right in thinking that they were black, along with the dash panel.
