How do I Remove a Windshield in a 450SL

Mercedes began manufacturing the SL series in 1954. You can save yourself some money by removing the the 450SLs windshield at home. While you may remove the windshield yourself, it may be difficult and it is safer to have a friend assist you with its unwieldy removal. Before starting the job, you may need to purchase a few supplies at an auto parts store. After you have all of the needed supplies to remove the windshield, the job should take about one-half hour to complete.

Instructions

1

Pull up the vehicles windshield wipers and remove the nuts on the back of the wipers, using an adjustable wrench. Move the wipers side to side and pull them up and off the vehicle. Set them aside.

2

4

Position yourself in the vehicles drivers seat with your assistant outside the car, facing the windshield. Push the windshield out, using your hands as your assistant catches it on the outside.
