Pull cowl, pull visors, pull the rest of the interior trim, disconect plugs at bottom of A pillers and tape to glass so as not to damage them. Mirror slides down if rain sensor equiped if not twist off. Remove push in outer vinyl moulding that fits into 3/4 plastic moulding on glass. We have wired these out succesfully with 2 people. If you are going to wire this out start wire at lower part of w/s 3-6 inches in from side. Cut wire at a 45% angle(this gives you a spear point on the wire and makes it easier to start). Protect dash with cardboard shield(cut the cardboard with a curve to fit in the dash area). Wire from the starting point up one side and half way across the top. Go back to starting point with wire and go the other way across the bottom and up the other side. Finish the top and remove glass. With 2 people this is the easiest way to save the glass. We have also removed these with a very thin and sharp Fein knife blade(for the top and as far down the sides you can get) and a extractor for the rest. Sorry this took so long. HTH

I've also done successful R&R jobs with my Equalizer Express, Someone that knows the (touch) can get that out for you, but what Lee said IS the safest way! Rich
