Re: [Amc-list] OT: Removing 91 Grand caravan windshield

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried those L-blades and never had much luck. Better was a 'surplus' hood
release cable to cut the butyl. 

Would the Caravan have just butyl or is it one of the newer styles where the
windshield is a structural part of the car? Those have more difficult
install/removals.
