You are correct about it being split in the middle of vertical part on each side. The screws are short but usually stuck very tight. If in no hurry I'd definitely soak them for a few days with Aero-Kroil.
Trying to twist them out with a regular screw driver will usuall mess up the screw head.
If the windshield is not good you may want to give the screws a good whack with an impact screwdrivew which may loosen them up.

You may have to drill them out. They are only about 1/4-3/8" long.
Note: there is a little short "bar" about 3 or 4" long that slips into the middle of the frame that these screws go to. If you have to drill them out you can probably still save the piece or rethread them. Those little joining bars can be bought seperately. I THINK chevs of the 40's had them seperate or maybe FillingStation if needed.

...and when takeing it apart it may be hard to get the frame to pull apart. Use a rubber hammer and gently tap the frame in each corner to get it to break loose. Its aggravaiting and can be frustrating but with some patience you can do it.

....and you must seperate each side a little at one time. You can't just pull one side apart without the other side coming apart at about the same time or it will get in a bind or poasibly warping the frame.

Good luck. Hope you understand all this. Let us know how you make out.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
