mjcanoe Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 comanche-man22, great find! you can use entire frt. clip, doors if 4 door, frt.axle & suspension, engine & trans with electonics & harnesses, complete interior,center console on xj won't have filler in trim cover, inner trim at frt. w/shield pillers. windshield & trim, t/case & i believe frt. d/shaft. following items could be used w/ mods: rear axle, head liner & other small misc. items, ie: vacuum lines, feul evap, etc. mjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche-man22 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 alright cool so on a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to remove and install the windsheild? and what are the chances of it breaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Cig lighter? Forget the important stuff! Practically everything in front of the seats is bolt on. Windshields are not likely to pull out without breaking, but if God loves you enough on that day, he might only issue you a small crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 alright cool so on a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to remove and install the windsheild? and what are the chances of it breaking? I can't do it. I know that for a fact. However, I've seen guys do it in the pick'n'pull. I always just get glass guys to do that stuff for me. They normally charge not too bad of price.

mfpdm Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 alright cool so on a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to remove and install the windsheild? and what are the chances of it breaking? Here was my recent attempt. Let the glass people do it and save the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 and pro WON'T guarantee anything they pull to swap...it may break while removing, and you are still gonna pay them for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I did manage to pull one windshield years ago successfully for my old Volvo 544. Used an industrial heat gun liberally to melt the sealant (also the gasket) and got it out w/o cracks. Also pulled an OEM rear slider for my MJ not too long ago using the same method. The slider was a whole lot easier than the windshield though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
