aja540i 1906 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 I dont think its possible, i paid a guy to do mine and even he got glass everywhere, mostly from the bottom corners, theyre a bit of a pain to get at. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allan 295 Report post Posted December 23, 2015 Have used a guitar or piano wire like a saw the problem is to get a hole through the urethane to start the process on the e46 I think it was in one of the top corners. Their are professional tools available to do this but they are not cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richard 384 Report post Posted December 23, 2015 I want the window out for ease of rollcage installation and may be sometime before I put the new one in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted December 23, 2015 will an e36 have a toughened or laminated windscreen?Its the toughened ones which will break into hundreds of small peices.Laminated ones stay in mostly one peice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RipJaws 3 Report post Posted December 23, 2015 Just get a cable like the guy said and use it as a saw. Get a blade and make a hole any where you can find a decent spot to pull the cable around the frame of the windscreen its simple Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
