- Windshield Replacement - shoebox Chevys
from Higgy
The 1955-57 "Shoebox" Chevy
offers a real trick for the novice backyard mechanic. When replacing the
windshield, you will run into a real problem getting the bottom piece of stainless
trim from the outside of the windshield unless you know one little secret.
Before you yank, pull and bend the daylights out of the
stainless trim, get a 1/2 deepwell socket and as many long extensions that
you can muster. Climb inside the car and crawl up under the dash with a dropcord
or flashlight.
Look all the way up under the dash. And, just about 12 inches
from each end of your windshield, you will see a small bolt that extends from
the windshield trim to the underside of your dash. Simply remove the nut
on each side and your windshield will be free from hidden restraints and
ready to remove.
