Did you try and take the passenger doors after the photos were taken? If so how did it go? What i have learned is doors, roof, dash. but i know theres always more then one way.

Yea the last picture is them taking the doors off...on the drivers side we cut the b post and put the spreaders where the post was and pinched it so that it bowed out wards and then we just spread the door like we normally would we did something different with the trunk if u notice the k12 sitting there that is because we used that to open the trunk we just cut the hinges and it came right off....as for the dash we didn't do anything different we did it like you would normally would...other than that it went great

Oh ok. I was wodering if you didn't at least make a bottom cut in the windshield that when you folded the roof forward, you would get a lot of resistence. I have never done a forward roof fold so I am just trying to learn something new today. Thanks for the info PUMP and Dogpound.

You will get little to no resistance from the windshield when preforming a forward roof flap. Try it some time... it works nice.

We have a habit of taking the whole damn thing off. Yeah... just cut the A-post and flap the roof forward... You don't even need to cut the windshield. Less mess, Less clean up!

Just a couple if questions: 1. Why did your crew not cut out the windshield? 2. What kind of extrication tools do you guys carry? do you guys cut the entire windshied when you work a pin jb? we just cut right across the middle with a sawzall or window saw. no matter which way the roof is going.

For us it depends on how f'ed up the car is we've never done the forward fold on a real pin job yet
