Defender Windscreen Removal

Evenin' All

How do you remove the windscreen glass on a 1990 90?

Ive tried to pull the rubber off, but it aint shifting!

Any ideas?

Hiya Mark,

This sounds brutal but it will work. I would use a fine scalpel around the
screen to make sure no resin etc, then pull off the rubber. Then have a
lovely assistant on the outside ready to catch the glass. Then position
yourself on your back inside the 90 and push with your feet. Make sure with
both feet on opposite ends of the glass to equal out the force.

It should pop out and be caught by your assistant.

Yours

Andy

Why are you removing it?

I thought you broke the screen when you rolled it If you are just
removing the remains then use a hammer!

If youre getting a donor screen out and want it intact, you could
always just take the whole surround too like on a series and save some
hassle!

I've removed car screens and it generally just a case of getting an
assistant to push from the inside while you run round the outside on
the edge of the rubber seal with little screwdrivers and it will
eventually pop out.
The seals usually have a centre section on the outside which you need
to pull out first.

I've bought a whole surround, with windscreen intact. Its just the wrong
colour!

I was going to remove the screen, get the surround sprayed - Hence the
removal of the windscreen.

why remove the glass at all ?
any auto paint shop woth its salt should be able to mask the gasket and the
glass - clean and
sans the frame and paint it and bake the paint with the glass and gasket in
place .
a lot less work and no danger of cuts and broken glass
