A friend ( retired auto body repair) helped me take out my Windshield without cutting thre gasket. He said to lay it flat and support the windshild in several places to keep it from bowing or breaking . I would think upright on bottom edge would be ok, but I never asked him..............................MPO

I had this same problem when I stipped a 65 Coronet 5 years ago. Took all the glass out, layed a blanket on the trunk and layed the wihshield on the blanket. 3 days later went out the winshield was broken down the middle, just from it's own weight. Someone told me I should have stood it on it's bottom edge standing up so there would be no weight on the curve. Live and learn, but I hate to lose a $200 spare winshield to lear that!

My guess is after 40+ years under tension when it was out it just released... I haven't looked for a new one yet, but they can be found...

Can the rear glass come out easy or do they tend to break? I have heard both, but would like to remove both front and rear glass before painting I have tried some salvage yard. Front is available but can't find rear. Should glass guy be able to get it out? Or would you not take a chance unless you has a replacement?

I had my re-chromed and considering next steps for etching primer, filler primer. The metal surface under all the original paint is much rougher than I thought!
