10 meter mid cabin windshield removal.
Any one ever dismantle and remove the windshield on a 10 meter mid cabin? I want to start preping for paint and decided to get the entire windshield out of the way. I had planned on rebeding it anyway so I figured it would be a good time to take it off, clean and paint it then re-bed.
Just wondering how much of a PITA it is going to be to remove it?
any suggestions on whether to remove the glass (if so how do you do that?) or not?
I was just going to sand, prime and paint the frame???
Thanks

Cathy and I removed our's to rebbed a couple of years ago, it is a big job but needed done, some of the bolts are under the head liner, if I remember correctly you have to remove all the bolts, take the wiring out of the windshield, then you have to remove the curved pieces first while you hold the front and side panels by sliding them upward out of the inter locking joint, them remove the side panels, then slide the two front panels off then the center panel last. If you have any more questions you can e mail me.

So the window pieces sit in a channel? I'm glad I found that out! My headliners out so I figured now would be the time to do it. I'm thinking of using butyl tape to rebed it instead of polysulfide caulk. saw an interesting article on "compass marine" how to articles" about the benifits of using butyl tape because it always stays flexiable. I'll take some pics and post them in case anyone else plans on doing it in the future.
Thanks Mike!
Thanks Mike!

Todd,
those photos will be much appreciated.
I wou.d love to remove mine, take out all the glass and POWDERCOAT the frames.
Then re-install, but with the opening center glass like the later models have.
That's a real nice feature absent on the early models.
