Hello All,

Just finished the reinstall of the windshield in the SPF yesterday. Several reasons for the delay but, the primary one being a blown intake manifold gasket that needed attention before we adressed the windshield.

Huge Thanks to all.....Club cobra comes through again.

This was on SPF14xx with the center pillar and the only tool issue was that I needed to cut off an allen wrench to get the screws out of the brace where it goes into the bottom of the windshield. Make certain that if you getting glass or lexan that you let the supplier know what the series number is for your car, they are different for different years.

Tips to aware of:

1) Make sure you put the screws back into the original hole.

2) Beware of the black 3M urethane it goes every where. Use gloves but. it does clean up easily after it drys with paint thinner.

3)Leave the pillars in place and you do not need to worry about restoring the rake when you reinstall.

4) Not that hard to get it in and out the difficulty is iin getting the new glass into the old frame. If you are careful when you take out the old glass the gasket will come out in two pieces. The bottom is one and the rest of the gasket goes along the top and sides. There were a few place where the gasket was broken, I put black duct tape on the glass in those spots to fill in the gaps. The old urethane comes out easily and you can see the areas where to put the new urethane.

5) It helps to have four hands when you are taking it out and putting it back into the pillars and when you putting the frame on the new glass.

Again Thanks to guys that gave me the input.
