Painted square on windshield

[David T]

So anyways... Picking this long-lost topic up, I finally got around to ordering a new windshield, that is sitting at my carglass workshop of choice. Before I make the appointment to replace the windshield I'd like to know if theres anything I need to replace or repair while the windshield is off. I'm hoping this will be a once-in-the-cars-lifetime event, so I suppose now is the time to do the while-you're-there things... Any suggestions?

If you want to do anything to the trim on the "A" pillars, the upper dash or vin tag you do it with the windscreen removed.

A-pillar trim and roofbox, excellent. Thanks gentlemen.
A developement: My local class shop backed out of the deal.
I want to DIY replace the windshield. Any thoughts on proper selection of adhesive, removal hardware etc.?

Cheers.

Please read this article from DMC about how this is done: specific guidance about the DMC-12.

Also note your DeLorean has two black bent-wire glass location brackets visible along the front of the bottom edge of your windshield. These hold the glass in place until the new sealant cures.

The guidance below applies generally to windshields, including DeLorean windshields:

Use black urethane adhesive designed for windshield application like 3M Windo-Weld 08609 urethane or 3M 08693 urethane or equivalent must be used. From amazon or a local 3M distributor. No silicone allowed.
You must clean and then prime the inside black-painted edge areas of the new windshield with 3M single step primer or equivalent so the urethane will adhere properly to the glass.
This 3M guide tells how to use primer and sealant when replacing a windshield - pages 28-29.

Find some general videos about how to DIY a replacement windshield to be sure you know what to expect.
Plan B: find another glass shop
Plan C: find an experienced auto glass installer who will do the job remotely with you if this is legal where you live
