Re: goo to attach windscreens?

hiyaz,
RA40 relies on the goo to bond the glass to the frame and has chrome strips covering the join.
I don't think it's a key structural member per se but it does add some rigidity to the roof, firewall and front pillars - when it gets a big crack across it, you can hear it creak/grind in sympathy with the front suspension.
I remember the windscreen freak using kero to clean up.
barned01: I think i'll remove it with piano wire - is a two person job but easier/safer than modifying a knive to cut thru the join (get strong spring-steel knife, put in 90 degree bend, drag thru join, allow several days to do this)
I think a kero wipe will only soften the surface of the goo. Unless you make deep cuts to get the kero into the join you won't soften it much.
i'm expecting both to break along the cracks so both cars will have vents tapped up and big areas of double-sided tape to catch fine glass particles.
i'll ask the windscreen people if they supply goo (was going to get prices from obrien and novus).
cheers and ta,
thechuckster
