Removing Windshield

[Mark Pollan <Mark.POLLAN@mci.com>]

Hi all:

I've decided to replace my windshield that is pitted from at least
175K miles of use.  I believe it was replaced before based on the way
the adhesive is gobbed in some places and the rust on the inside of
the pillar.  Theory that when replacing the windshield some monkeys
scratched through the galvanization.

Anyway, I want to pull the window myself, fix the rust spots and have
a glass shop put a new one in.  Ant BTDTs on removing the windshield
_without_ special VW tool XXXX?

TIA,
