Anyone with a windshield removal DIY??

RonRizz

yes, something custom.
My local glass guy wont do it, safelite wants to charge full price, as if they were supplying the glass.
I may end up having a go at it myself, worst that can happen is safelite has to replace it anyways if i damage it.

I never heard of the windshield having to be removed to install/remove those front dash mounted speakers.

Just to be clear... The factory speakers have been out of my car for 6 years, and replaced with aftermarket drivers. (and yes, I did it from inside.)
My intention is to make a custom mount in the dash location for a midrange driver that is larger than the factory grill, so there will be a good deal of modifications made to fit them in, and possibly custom grills as well.
I need room to get my gorilla hands in there to perform the surgery.
I am also aware of the possibilty that the windshield MAY have to be removed if the need to replace them arises. I am working on that design snafu.
I am willing to go through this to make these mods. I never said I was rational, or sane.

Ah Gotcha!

Well, From the looks of it you may have to budget for a replacement windshield.

Your caught between a rock and a hard place.

But you already know that your less painful $$ option is to simply place those speakers elsewhere

Good Luck!

EDIT: I don't think there's a DiY made for such a thing here, But there's always Youtube for basic directions

Hahaha... the quest for improved sound quality. 2" mid-ranges in the dash just really don't cut it. I've also thought of cutting my dash to fit bigger mids in there. Another possibility is to put in kickpanels (and move up to mod street), although I'm in a 7AT. I don't know if there would be room in a 6MT.

Are you putting new speakers in the dash or just relocating your old ones?
