Respect the hell out of you for showing the first window. So many people will act like they get everything right their first time. People have to understand that it's okay to mess up as long as you keep moving forward.

Sir, you have missed your calling. You need to be an inspirational speaker. Your positive, courageous, do-not-give-up, you-can-do-it attitude is contagious. You are helping people with more than just how to change a windshield. You are giving people skills to face the hardships of life and win.

I wish there was an army of men like this in every neighborhood. Willing to teach others. May God bless him.

As a pro windshield installer props to you for hustling this one and getting it done.

If I can rebuild an engine why not a windshield? I like that! You can do anything you set your mind to. Thank you for sharing!

I actually tried it today and I got it done. What made it special was my daughter was there to learn to. Thank you

I absolutely love your attitude. "Ya, it's hard work but so what, handle it." That will get you most things you want in life. Also, seven years later and this is exactly the info I needed. Thank-you for taking to time to film and document the details. Love the idea about the saws-all blade!

Kudos to you for not being a sissy. Someone shot my back windscreen out and I'm changing it myself. The glass shops wanted $375 parts and labor. My insurance is $500 deductible. I'm disabled and it'll take me a bunch of days but all I got is time.

I applaud you for standing and speaking for the faith we share. And the things you do as a mechanic. Most wouldn't go through the trouble to do most of these projects you do. And you do them to show less fortunate folks that anything is possible with a little know how and ingenuity. God bless you brother and keep doing what your doing.

I seen an old black dude use a wire. He had all the glass out of Suburban in 45 mins. With zero adhesive on them. I learned talking to him afterwards. You also need to use automotive adhesive to put them back in. Just ask any retail body shop for it. As it' snot worth getting all the wind noise. Water Damage and rust... It's only $25.00 for the 3M stuff.... And get the primer. It prevents rust and makes the best seal....

Came here to research installing a winshield out of necessity for needing to do this myself..... and Not only did I get the bare bones, my way of working, type of knowledge i was searching for. I also got a pick me up by a fellow brother in Christ. This really brightens my day unexpectedly seeing someone spread the Spirit. I know this video is a bit old so i really hope youre still out there smashin it. God speed. Like you said. With him, all things are possible, including this very life. I wish you nothing but the best man. Thanks.

Hi I have 25 years professional auto glass installer. I like this guy.. hope he open he's own glass shop.. keep going GOD BLESS YOU

You're right about studying and researching. Before I changed my clutch I was thinking there was no way i'd be able to do it myself. After a good week of watching how-to videos, doing some research, watching more how-to videos over and over a few times, I had the confidence to go at it, unfortunately parts place gave me the wrong pressure plate, so after it was all back together it made a horrible noise. You just gotta keep going, don't fall into dispair because something doesn't go right, there is always an answer, do it again, if you have to take a break, do it for a couple days. I was exhausted after pulling my transmission twice in 3 days I needed a couple days. I was down to my last $18 and had called off 3 extra days of work, but I took it apart again, replaced with the right parts and we're good to go, did it right in the driveway, all hand tools, become pretty good at it too, can pull a civic transmission in about 2 hours now. Never give up.

Doing this kind of work on a very tight budget is difficult . It is so easy to get discouraged and depressed and just say a few cuss words then quit. Your an inspiration and testifying about our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST in the process ..... I am so proud of you for that. Please keep up the Lord's work and keep inspiring. GOD bless you and your works.😆

i'm a windshield tech that swaps several a day professionally and want to say two things: 1. From what I can tell in the video the result should be nice and tight and safe as if i'd have done it. I don't see any red flags. 2: Only things I would have done different are certain specialized tools that are only worth investing in if you swap a lot of windshields. Good job guys!

I was a professional glass installer for a couple of years, and it was kind of funny watching you struggle with removing the windshield. you were lucky not to crack the second windshield from using the cold knife (or as you call it the puller). normally it is done with a wire which is easier and you do not have to clean all that extra urethane from around the windshield. As most people and you have said silicon should not be used, either use (poly)urethane or buytl caulking or tape (Buytl tape was used before urethane). glass installers use a simillar tool to your reciprocating saw, so it was nice to see you use that. when installing the windshield if you watch when you are putting it in to see if you can see the VIN through the spot on the windshield, that is the way to line it up and make sure it is centered. You were lucky with that Honda, that the moulding was part of the glass, most Honda's and VW's have these funky clips that hold the side mouldings on, and they are a pain in the arse ( because the usually break because they are old and brittle) Nice Job though!

I don't think i ever felt such a strong vibe coming from someone through a screen. I love these videos man. You are pure inspiration, God bless.

I am laughing at these people. There is always a critic. You could have easily edited this video. This is not a factory training video. He does not work for Safe Lite or another nationwide window installation chain. Keep up the good work bro.

I'm learning this trade from my father & watching this video was pretty funny. have a huge admiration for your work ethic bro, we need more people like you! all these negative comments don't understand when you said it's an amateur job, and I've seen over a 100 windshield installations and you're not very far off from doing it professionally. stay positive !!

Ive replaced 7 to 10 automobile windsheilds a day for 17 years and just enjoy watching how others do it👍 thanks for sharing cause I don't even have a video.

DUDE I JUST WATCHED FLIPPING THE 97 CIVIC... DUDE U HAVE THE PERFECT ATTITUDE AND PERSONALITY AND A GREAT WAY TO EXPLAIN THINGS.. KEEP IT UP MY MAN..

you need to trademark the phrase "Handle It". great job you do. keep up gods work. god bless.

Check this out Peepz. I leave the negative comments for a reason. There will always be people that hate on what you do, you cant stop that but when you read the comments and the hate DO NOT LET IT MOVE YOU. Learn from every person you come across in your life and use their response, character and lifestyle to make sound strong decisions of how not to be and to always use it as fuel to maintain your integrity. Stay a fighter in life always put Jesus Christ, first and never allow anyone to crush youe will to overcome and SMASH ON LIFE. In Jesus mighty name stay a WARRIOR.

YOUR THE MAN! YOU GIVE ME HOPE AND MOTIVATION DURING THESE TRYING TIMES THAT I HAVE TO DIY EVERYTHING IF I WANT TO SEE IT FIXED. YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT THE HOOD BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HOOD OUT THE HOMEBOY!

Your video gave me the inspiration to do this myself! I successfully removed a window like you from the junkyard, now I just need to remove my old one and pop it in! I used nothing but piano wire to get the new windshield off. Thanks for the helpful video! I will post my progress when I can on my channel! :)

its a trip how God always keeps me motivated through everyone, when im lost. . keep up the good work brother, GOD BLESS!

Finally found a video on how to remove a windshield without cracking it. The tool you made does exactly what the tool does that you made except you got way more reach and you can saw your way through. Thanks brother for that video. And for sharing your faith. It's true when they say you can go to a different country and when you meet a brother or sister in Christ you feel a family connection. Keep up the good work.

hey brother' this is Pastor Steve.. Wanted to stop by to give you some "Respects" on how this demonstration was not your cup of tea, but you still tried and didn't give up. I think that this will inspire many that think something like this is impossible. Average windshield is $100.00 + out there in the street.. thank you Uso P.s. pay no attention to the negative comments, people use social media to vent frustrations from the past of being bullied in school or at home.. " He without Fault or Sin cast the first Stone..

This is the first of your videos I have ever watched and your positive attitude and perseverance is inspiring, man. Just as helpful as Eric The Car Guy man for real. I love how you broke the first one, made adjustments, made your own tool, then took what you learned and conquered the second one. Respect.

You did great for a first timer. I love watching your vids because you show what can be done with ordinary tools and a little thought. Not to nitpick but use urethane sealant on the next one for strength. You saw how hard it was to remove the glass with the urethane. It's like that to keep the glass from popping out in an accident. Love your vids though man. Your not afraid to dive in and see what happens. And failure isn't an option in your eyes. If that's not inspirational, I don't know what is!

Damn Bro your AWESOME I learned more off your video then I did off a professional I'm not a window installer myself and not made out of money as well ... thank you BROTHER for your encouragement and positive outlook after watching this video I did a damn good job on installing a windshield in my mom's car saved us A lot of money...👍👍👍👍👍..

I install windshields for a living and I just say on a budget you did a great job bro. Thanks for making these videos available to people. God bless.

Great video bro!! Played it on my big screen with my dad, ever since i got into flipping cars ive found my self watching your videos!!!i agree 100 percent, if we mechanics can rebuild an engine then why not give replacing a windshield a shot, and haters can only hate , judgmental mofos!!

Hey buddy I like you, I can tell your a good person that truly cares about others. I personly have done the same work as you do flipping cars. Your videos are very informative and detailed, keep up the good work and God bless....

Man brother. This little gem of a video just saved me $290 bucks as safelite wanted $340 plus tax. Thank you alot big dog. Big props

Enjoy your videos... resurfaced the head on my nissan 2.5l and using copper coat got the new multilayer steel head gasket on.. runs like a champ. Now I also have to change the windshield on my truck and my wife's suv... a lot cheaper to DYI. Blessings! "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world"

Hey i work at a factory that puts the molding and bond promoter(primer) on car windows. If you want to take the primer off i suggest you try using alcohol that works most of the time.

i am going to give you a tip get galvanized thin steel wire and a knife, inset the wire from outside in to the windshield rap it around on 2 screw driver handles and use a back and forth motion around the windshield kinda like when you dental floss a string in between your teeth same way use the steel wire in between the windshield pulling the wire towards you all around the windshield comes right off

Nice job. I appreciate that you didn't edit out the first attempt where you cracked the windshield. That shows Christ-like humility. You also demonstrated the power of pressing on. Maranatha.

Wow the best part of the video that I love is that Christ died on the cross and we only have one chance. Thanks man to let me know that there is still people that loves Jesus now these days. God bless you, your home, family, work, and money.

THAT WAS A GOOD EFFORT, THE ONLY THING I DID NOT AGREE WITH IS THE ADHESIVE YOU USED. GOOD WORK BUD.

A friend and I pulled the back window out of an old Cadillac Seville, we punctured a hole into the glue and slipped guitar string through and sawed it out that way. It was a pain but not too bad, we managed to pull out two in an afternoon (first one shattered just as we were about done because my friend decided to try to pry the last bit of glue up with a flat head screwdriver...) I really like the re-purposed saw blade though!

Your videos are always very interesting and informative. Lots of cars get written off if the windscreen is damaged because the big glass replacement companies charge so much, it's cheaper to buy another. I was told bonded windscreens were too difficult to replace by yourself but your video shows that with determination and patience, it can be done. Excellent to see it is possible and can save people a great deal of money if they give it a go!

Video is 7 years old and still teaching the lads. Thanks for posting.

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do and he will establish your steps"...real talk my guy...keep dropping knowledge on em'

Great video. I learned the exact way you just did. I bought a tool and went to the auto wreckers. 5 windshields later I had one. The blade/sawzall is definitely the way to go.

The no bullshit video i ever seen in youtube, nope not offering a product , nope like act like you the best , nope not making everything seems easy , only 1 , be real and do it and make it happen.... Best for oldschool hero ! BRO ! keep it up

AWESOME JOB!!!! You have given me the confidence to go out there and keep trying. I LOVE the tool you created and will be making a couple of those for myself before I hit the Car Junkyard! You gave GREAT step-by-step directions and your constant uplighting "Stay with it and don't give up" attitude and talk, REALLY pump me up! Thanks so much!

good stuff my brother God help those who help them self

I just subscribed. im also a mechanic about to try and flip cars. keep up the great work

We used the camping wood cutting wire with a ring on each end. We cleared all around and a real good clean start spot. Fed the ring in then had a person on inside and Outside sawing this thin wire back and forth all around until it lifted free. Clean edges really well on the windshield and the car frame it's going into. Really clean.

ROCK ON!! Just had a windstorm and a large branch came out of the sky and gravity did the rest. I'll replace it myself as well. Good Job!!

Oldskool, I notice that the windshield you took out said 'honda' on it. I recommend that if anybody is going to go through all the effort to remove a windshield, always choose the honda oem if you can. Honda oem glass is just better and more durable than after market stuff. Plus, honda stuff fits perfect every time. There is a place in the Bronx NY called 'randall ave glass' and they used to replace the windshield in my 87 accord for $85 including labor and the glass. Plus, they do it while you wait and they are very fast. They did the side glass on my friend's 95 accord for $30. The prices are so low because in the Hunts Point area of the bronx, there are dozens of glass places so the prices get driven down. My buddy said this glass place wanted $240 so I took him to Randalls glass and got it for $30. By the way, If the wire you used broke, try to use a bicycle derailleur cable. A bicycle brake cable is a little bit thicker but the derailleur cable is super strong and thin and it is stranded steel cable. You might also want to spray some silicone on the cable so it cuts smoother. You can get the cable for a couple of bucks at walmart or any bicycle shop.

Just Do It. I like the spirit.

never been more inspired to "handle it like a man" from any video i ever seen on youtube or anywhere.

Nice video Oldskool with lots of detail, especially to the removal and installation of the windshield. Looks like the utility knife and homemade sawzall blade is the way to go. You could have never shown the first part of this video and no one would have ever know about the cracked windshield. Shows integrity, honestly and a message to others out there to not be afraid of making mistakes. If you do, keep at it as you say. Keep up the good work Oldskool.

old school funk for president!!

this dude is a shank maker!

you took these KZfaq chumps to the warzone... perfect video man from the junkyard to installation.

Locally the price here is about $250-270 for a windshield install with glass. I didn't go quite as ghetto as you, but had the junkyard pull mine for $80 and used the 3M polyurethane and primer (another $50, but now I got enough primer for another 5-6 windows easy.) Getting my old one out worked with mostly just a carpet knife, I did use the HF puller in some spots but it kinda sucked. Got a lot of urethane everywhere and got black hands, but no leaks. Waiting on tomorrow to drive it as I painted the cowl and mouldings and all that. Just wanna say thanks as you did inspire me to handle it DIY, and it's not a route I'd normally take but I'm broke right now and I needed to handle it. God bless you and thanks so much! The video really helped give me the confidence I needed to handle it, no joke.

My friend good work. I am sure one of the experts here have told you about using an old guitar string...so easy to remove old glass. Ive done it before but wanted a refresher course. Im getting ready to install one again for a friend. My comment is toward the silicone "experts". Rest assured that that windshield will last forever. Silicone is incredibly strong, and will not "fall out" That is ridiculous. Is urethane the way to go? Absolutely! But, making the guy out to be an idiot, or insinuating that he is spreading dangerous videos is just stupid. There are are also many types of silicone. ALL will work, while some are better for different apps. In essence, the main difference between urethane and silicone is the hardener. Now, I know this because I am a carpenter. I understand that its not the same as some fancy edumicated auto techie. But Ive installed windows in homes, counter tops, sinks, mirrors, about anything you can think of using silicone. And I can tell you that 90 percent of the time you will destroy the part before it "falls out". You must have an even bead, and you get a pounds per square inch concept that is very strong. If you apply a nice 1 inch wide bead around your windshield it will NOT fall out. It will NOT leak. In a pinch it will work. YES< spend the extra for urathane if you can. But, dont lose sleep if you cant.

bruh, you remind me of myself. i'm more of a do it yourself kind of man.

One word.... RESPECT. This takes some serious patience to pull off but for most people like me who don't have that type of patience, try calling your local automotive glass shops and many of them are willing to sell you just the windshield. For my Nissan 240sx, I called a junkyard and was quoted $150 for a USED windshield without mouldings while my local windshield shops wanted $95 for a NEW windshield. Also, by using the silicone from Home Depot makes removing the windshield in the future a major pain in the butt. They sell two tubes of the urethane windshield glue on ebay for like $15 shipped and the gun for another $15. The windshield removal and installation tools are only about $20 from Amazon.

I love the fact that you didn't delete the mistake I am subscribing. Great video keep em coming.

I love the junkyards. You tear shit apart not giving a f%#× so you can get your parts. Its like a playground for grown ups.

this is funny im a glass guy i understand you low on funds or dont have the insurance coverage, but please be safe when it comes to auto glass who ever in your vehicle including your life depends on it. its more to auto glass then taking it out and putting it in. please people if you not sure call a glass shop and ask questions but if possible take it to a glass company or a true glass person where things are guaranteed.

i loved watching your video. I'm a professional automotive glass installer for the last 13 years and i came across this by accident,but all said and done for your 1st time you did a not bad job. yes silicone was a bad choice and your cold knife is one of the best tools to remove a windshield once you learn the way to do it. by the end of the video i wanted to teach you how to do a windshield just for your future knowledge. good on you for handling it, its really super simple to do this once you do 2 or 3..........hundred . thanks for the video

My brother, you have cajones of brass! Taking on jobs we ONLY dream of!!! I love your "take no prisoners", "go for broke", "NO job TOO big" attitude. I always wondered how hard it would be to replace MY OWN windshield!!! More vids please!

Lol why didn't you show you putting the rubber trim back on. and I hope it doesn't rain much there.

amen! new windhield amen, next time do brake pads from wood !! A M e N

Good for you buddy I just grabbed a cheap old model car i paid $400 for but it needed a new windshield They quoted me $300, man i have faith after all the research ive done i recon i could do it myself but no1 else has faith in me to help me do it,

Great job! Determination and having a failure is not an option attitude sees you through. Very inspiring!

whyd it have to go all religious at the end man im just tryin to get info on windsheilds..

Piano wire works really good for removing an old windshield you want to save. Use a couple of dowels for handles and work your way around the windshield. I used to do this when I was broke and needed to replace one on my car.

When I was a young private in the Army I had Jeep Wrangler YJ and basically lived in the pick a parts around town. I was stationed in Washington State so it was always raining and I was always cold and wet. When I heard you say "So what if it's hot? Handle it!" It brought be back to the old days man. I've also done my fair share of busting knuckles in the Arizona summer as well. Anyways, I had an unfortunate incident take place and now I'll be replacing my windshield on my VW Jetta. No way in hell I'm paying the new prices and the labor right now. That being said I understand good products cost good money and the same goes for experienced or professional labor. This vw is just my winter beater and it's about to be retired very soon anyways. Thanks for posting this video man I appreciate folks showing different ways to get a job done. Sometimes we will sacrifice time to save money or to make up for the money we don't have.

Most of us un-initiated can relate to this marvelous effort. You and your partner deserve full marks for your resolve and persistence. It was a great learning and thank you for sharing this motivational video.

Watching this reminds me of working with my dad, he used to have the same positive attitude you do man.

Love your attitude more than the info and I really loved that! When you broke the first windshield and never missed a beat or blew your stack I knew I was gonna subscribe! Keep up the amazing work!

I love your approach i'm a first year heavy duty tech and I learned a ton from your views and attitude. I needed to watch your approach. Thanks.

that was awesome, Thanks for showing it from beginning to end. I appreciate honest people doing honest work. We cant all be professionals at everything and if you are willing to try, like you said it can be done.....a million thanks for your videos. There are some people that need to start reading the title before commenting.....Installing a window for poor folks...genius. thanks again

I respect the dudes hustle and grind as a mechanic.

Another great video. Your a good teacher on how to do things you explaine things clear and loud. Great job

You’re like the pops I never had! We appreciate your energy! Thank you!

From a window installer.... You have good understanding of the process...and shooting a V bead is correct

I would have cracked it too thank you for leaving that in the video I guaranteed watching that saved me a cracked window. Thank you for the confidence I now have

I love your videos. Even though I do the "proper" method for fixing my car, I appreciate what you do. Sure, they aren't quality fixes that will last as long as factory replacements and procedures, but they work for their intended audience. You are right when you say not everyone has the money or even access to replacement parts to do it the "right" way. One thing I'd like to add to this video though. The sealant that autoglass companies use is a automotive autoglass urethane. It's actually really cheap depending on what you buy and the quality you want. They start at about 10 bucks and go up in price. I have always loved 3M's products though. If you can afford and get access to it, Amazon has some for around 13 dollars. For a few dollars more you can get a high quality sealant that is proven to last. Even though it would never work for my car, I really enjoyed your video on sanding the warpage out of the head. It's great for economy cars that aren't out there trying to push as much power as they can. I think your hate comes from guys who think they know more than they do. Yes, a perfectly machined flat head is preferable. But if you can sand your head good enough at home that it is great. I could see the hate if you were telling guys that it would work on boosted cars, but you're not. The economy cars you are working on in your videos aren't exactly high performance, high tolerance cars. I hope you start uploading more videos soon.

Thanks so much for the video. It was a great encouragement and greatly helped get my '99 Civic back on the road (tree branch from the Hurricane Matthew wind took out my back glass last weekend). Anyhow, Pull-a-part had the rear windshield for $22.22. Prior to that, I got the suction cup gizmos from H.Freight along with the windshield removal tool. Those parts totaled about $23.10 w/ the twenty percent off coupon and coupon for free batteries. We got the caulk gun from O'Reilly (about 11 bucks but good caulk gun I plan to reuse many times in the future). Got the 3M Window Weld Cement from another place. I'm going to order it online next time or shop around to get a better price on that...kindof gave in and paid the higher price to get it done today so can drive the car tomorrow. Already had tape and used a Tractor Supply tactical hunting/survival knife instead of a box cutter to clean up the old urethane--more leverage. Switched over to a paring knife that Mom had which worked even better. When all was said and done, the total was just over $85 for everything and the install turned out perfectly! Add another $10 for Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers purchased for the parents as a thank you for helping vacuum out the glass and letting me use their car/yard to get the stuff and helping put the windshield in place and clean out the trim and all. Anyways, I was skeptical about how this would turn out lol but the Good Lord worked it all out and I'm glad I did like you suggested and give it a try, not get frustrated, break it down, believe I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me and has saved my soul, and to handle it and not be defeated! Please keep up the good work and videos. God bless. Shalom. Also, I would like to point out that many people would have edited out the part about the one windshield getting broken the first time, but I want to say thanks for leaving it since I already had ended up buying that same tool and managed to get the windshield out in one piece but almost didn't. When I first stuck the cutting tool in there I just about turned it that same way and if Mom hadn't shown me your video I probably would've broken it! Thanks again!

thank you for helping me man you show guys here without father figures how to handle things not only that you give good advice and have alot of years to give advice on i hope your doing good and appreciate what you do for people. you help us more than you think

Love your work ethic and attitude. It can be hard work but just get it done. Good Job!!

Thank you for a positive and inspirational message and an great instruction on window removal and install

I like your attitude. I'm a DIYer too and appreciate the personal values involved.

Really like the homemade tools, your intuitiveness and inventiveness. Always awesome to hear the gospel preached.

I loved watching you learn. Your mistakes are great inspirational lessons for the rest of us newbies having to do it ourselves because of our lack of cash or because we just want the job done right. I change my own oil because I have watched professionals mess up doing that simple task. For all the hate comments from professional installers, I suggest they watch Barbara Walters 20/20 report on unsafe windshield installations by professional shops. There are people being maimed or killed because over half of the "professionals" are not using the correct materials and or procedures for installing glass. They do it because they do not know better or are trying to short change the quality of materials and taking the proper time for the doing the correct procedure for the installation because of pressures from their boss for more production or to increase their own profit. Now that you successfully documented your struggled thru the removal and installation process, I would love to see you make another educational video showing not only the correct way to do the installation but why every step is important to the safety of the car's occupants and the life of the car. For example, why only urethane adhesives should be used on modern cars and which urethanes are the best and why. Why primers have to be used on the glass and the windshield window frame, why gloves have to be worn to keep body oil off the glass, etc. You are inspirational with your "can do attitude". You are a good teacher you have a clear pleasant voice. I agree with the other commenters that wrote you could have a career making how to videos. Go for it!

I love your videos. You are a inspiration to all the diy'er out there. You are on my buck list of people I would like to meet one day. Keep up the great work and please keep the videos coming.

This is a great video. I like how you show the one you cracked. You're great with tools and you messed up. Showed everyone and continued on to get the task done. My windshield has a couple cracks and i didn't want to pay someone to do it. Now i really feel up to changing it. Thank you for the vids

Love this guy's "can do" attitude. "Let's take care of it."

Thank you for doing these videos. It's good to see another Godly man walking the path and being strong in the faith. Be strong against the non believers and quide them into Gods path. May God Bless you in all your endeavors.

Thank you for the video. I'm training to be a professional installer but I'm doing my own research to stay ahead and make the job easier . This video definitely helped me understand the process which is the same as many other videos I've watched . Except the silicone part but good work and thanks again . Handle it !

I like his positivity and he speaks the truth, this is the best video I have seen. Thank you, sir.

i work in the windshield business with my pops,hes been doing it for 22 years and im bearly 21 getting the hang of replacing windshields on every types of cars and trucks,its an untapped business in certain places.
