>I apologize for not paying attention in prior discussions, but I need
some help bustin' loose my windshield frame on my TR6.  The driver's
side is loose, but the passenger side doesn't want to cooperate.  Ideas,
options?

Ashford, everytime I have removed a windshield from a TR6 (or TR4) I found
that one side comes loose quite easily and the other side has stuck as a
result of paint fusion (assembled while the paint was still soft) and I
have found that it is not the same side each time).  My technique is to
remove all teh bolts that hold the bracket to the chassis and rotate it
about the post on the windshield frame and work the bracket off of the
post.  Once it starts to move (it takes vice grip pliers initially) it will
quickly become easier.

Reassemble with antisieze!

Good luck
