Does anyone do glass work for a living. I have lost two windshields from my 60 Buick parts cars in the last week. The first was my only good sedan glass and now a ht glass I needed to sell. I don't know if they get brittle over time or what but they don't want to come out in one piece. The Sedan glass spider webbed in 20 directions while putting light pressure on it from the inside to lift it off the rubber seal. It broke just supporting its own weight! The hard top glass shattered on its own! I removed all the trim and left until I had some help to pull it, came back a week later (today) and the glass cracked around the edges and they ran across the front. All i can figure is by removing the trim that removes the pressure from the rubber seal on the glass and if just started to fall apart. I went ahead and tried to pull it for practice and it came out in several pieces. I have pulled dozens of windshields from 50's and 60's cars and never had one break but these are my first from 59-60 GM's. I have been told they are the hardest being very large, very shapley and thin. I still have two more to pull and no glass shop will pull them and promise they will survive and even if they break I have to pay. Any advise? These things are $600 each!
