Use a long handled scraper that holds razor blades. When I did mine I was just holding the razor blade and it was taking forever, then I put a blade in a long handle scraper I have and it only took a couple of minutes to do. Also, you can take out the rear qaurter windows, just three screws, that makes it really easy. Nice score on both of them.Originally posted by tatrobb View Post'90 LXComment

UPDATE: The yellow festiva made its first drive today in a little over 2.5 years since it was parked, it ran great. When I got it the tranny was toast, My best friend (who is a mechanic by trade) installed the tranny and also did the falling shifter repair that I found on a sticky here on ff.com. So here is my Problem ... The shifter is a little sloppy, but more than that it still has a little slop in that the shifter moves up and down alittle also. I can get it to shift in 1st,3rd,4th,5th but seems like there is not enough throw to get all the way into second. PLEASE HELP ANY IDEAS?????Comment

shifter bushings....easy repair...just need bushings. In a pinch you can get a replacement bushing assortment for door hinges. There are a couple in there that are real close to what the car needs and they last for a while. Not sure about the up down movement...but it may take care of the linkage throw for 2nd and help it go into gear easier."FLTG4LIFE" @FINALLEVEL , "PBH"
