If its like my 3w and fordor there are little L brakets inside the bottom corner that are held in by two screws each side,then the botton part of the frame comes off allowing the glass to slide down and out,

Take the windshield off the posts.Remove the studs and cones.The top part of the frame is what has to come off .Lay it on a table with old towels or blanket underneath and tapping against a piece of hard wood placed under the edge of the frame it should come loose.I believe the studs hold the 2 parts together and the studs screw into the "L" bar .

You'll have to loosen both windshield posts substantially or remove one them for the studs at the top of the windshield frame to clear the posts. As deuce lover indicates, the studs must be removed before attempting to disassemble the windshield frame.
