Once windshield urethane cures it done heating it or any kind of softening trick you know of won't work,the reason why is when it cures the windshield now becomes a structure part of the vehicle.

Almost finished yesterday but need to finalize today. Below are some progress/teaser photos. We have to wet-sand some areas and finish up but this at-least gives ya an idea. Bullitt@UAMotorsports did an awesome job and I was glad to have his assistance. Two people are much better than one person lol

Great DYI
