Still need windshield help
Written by goldwingman40 on 6/12/2011 at 04:57 pm

Karen,
Here is a link to a writeup by Leland on replacing the windshield:

http://www.directcon.net/lcshepp/WindshieldReplacementProcedure.txt

Somewhere on the list a couple of people wrote up about different ways of
ramoving the coating from the Honda windshields. I could not find it but maybe
someone knows and will speak up.

(Unless I can use a circular saw with a plywood blade. No? I didn't think so.)

willing to ship it for the shipping cost.
