The original windshield glass in my '34 is fogging up to the point that it will have to be replaced in the not too distant future. For those of you who have done this job, can you provide me with step by step procedure? Can it be done without removing the upper frame? I'm thinking that I should be able to crank the windshield all the way open, remove the bottom section of the frame and then slide the glass out. I'm sure that some sort of lubricant/penetrant will have to be applied first. I'll be replacing the rubber frame seal as well. I plan to purchase the precut glass from Sanders Reproduction Glass Co. Your suggestions, please....
