Pop off the top of the dash by pulling up on the outter side edges, while pushing down on the front portion up near the windshield. Pop one side loose, then the other side, and lift up and out,,,,being careful with the trip odometer reset mechanism. You could also remove the windshield wiper arms, or let the glass tech do that. Mine are removed anyway,,,but I would rather remove them if they weren't.

Installer, Scott, cleaning up the loose, old sealer material before installing new glass. This is the third Prowler windshield Scott has done for us,,plus our other cars.

Keep in mind, our antenna connection goes into the rectangular box,,up front on the passenger side. Small fingers help to plug in the new connector.

Tom,,,,mostly gravel front yards out here, not grass,,,,hence, gravel trucks all over on the roads.

Anyone moving out to the Southwestern states,,,always add NO DEDUCTIBLE glass coverage to your auto insurance policy. Only a couple of bucks more, and well worth it.

Some of those foreign made w/shields are poor quality of glass.

I have never had to pay for a windshield. I have had maybe 5 or 6 replaced over the years.
Those gravel front yards and the illegal immigrants are really quite appealing. Maybe we will move out there. lol

So,,,hitting a deer on a Gold Wing is more impressive to you, lol. We already have enough repo guys working the streets, so your talents won't be needed here, unless you want to chase illegals running away from the drop houses?
But,,,I think Chi-Town already has his application in here now,,,,so your age/experience wouldn't get you any extra points on the entrance exam. Plus,,,looking at this recent picture of you, doesn't appear that you are in good enough physical shape to chase illegals, lol.

You do have that Arizona Sun City look,,,,no socks, lol

Steve and Jan,,,,,first of all,,,only OEM w/shields were available for the Prowler. That's a good thing. My glass guy said those w/shields either cost him $415, [B]OR, he billed my insurance company that amount for them,,,not sure? I have $0 deductible on glass, so I didn't really pay much attention to the paperwork, other than signing that the work was completed. Hope that helps some.
