Hi All,
    In an effort to make things work..... I attempted to remove the
hinges that attach the windshield to the body.
The good news is that I was sucessful, but the bad news is that most of
the bolts snapped off instesd of
unscrewing.

I have been going the drill and easyout method, only they aren't coming
out and it is by no means easy.

Has anyone replaced the nut plates on these? If so, How did you get access.

I am not sure, but I believe the nut plates on the window frame are
actually individual square nuts in the
little retaing clips.

Any help is always appreciated,
